In a recent paper, Hamilton Emmons has established theorems relating to the order in which pairs of jobs are to be processed in an optimal schedule to minimize the total tardiness of performing n jobs on one machine. Using these theorems, the algorithm of this paper determines the precedence relatio

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents a network parallel genetic algorithm for the one machine sequencing problem. It examines a parallel genetic algorithm in which processors exchange their best solution found at periodic intervals and the case when no exchange is performed. The network parallel genetic algorithm is executed on a cluster of IBM RS/6000 workstations using a master-slave approach. Performance to a serial genetic algorithm is reported. (~

Region growing is a general technique for image segmentation, where image characteristics are used to group adjacent pixels together to form regions. This paper presents a parallel algorithm for solving the region growing problem based on the split-andmerge approach, and uses it to test and compare
