In this article we consider a cost-minimization model to investigate scheduling strategies for multistaged projects in a client-contractor environment. This type of environment is symptomatic of temporal changes in project definition and scope. At prespecified epochs the client conducts an external

Traditional research in scheduling has concentrated on developing optimal and optional tending heuristic algorithms for n x m job shop and flow shop problems. Relatively no work has been conducted in the area of scheduling within a GT cell. This paper examines the GT cell environment from a scheduli
The issue of data replication is considered in the context of a restricted system model motivated by certain distributed data-warehousing applications. A new replica management protocol is defined for this model in which global serializability is ensured, while message overhead and deadlock frequenc
This paper describes a simulation tool called the Simulated Parallel Architectures in a Distributed Environment (SPADE). SPADE is currently implemented on a network of workstations with UNIX (trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories) and NFS (trademark of Sun Microsystems). It is developed to provide an
