Overview

Just-in-Time Scheduling: Models and Algorithms for Real Time Operating Systems is the first expository treatment surveying the theoretical work on computer systems models and algorithms utilized in just-in-time scheduling. With the impact of globalization and supply chains on manufacturing, there are immense amounts of material flowing through supply chains at any given time worldwide. Therefore the scheduling of all the stages of material arriving at different geographical points at precise times is a highly significant problem. Moreover, the theoretical work in this area has larger ramifications for operational scheduling in many application areas. The scheduling models and algorithms presented and illustrated in the book will be done so in the context of extensive use of computer systems in a ""real time context."" The book will survey and synthesize all the research in this topical area.

From the reviews: Although being a well-established topic in the area of operations research, scheduling has gained increasing interest during the last years. ... In her book `Just-in-Time scheduling', Joanna Jozefowska addresses this issue in five chapters. ... The book is clearly structured and mostly well-written. ... I can recommend the book to any reader who wants to deepen his or her understanding of scheduling problems and methods, in particular those that are relevant to just-in-time processes. (T. Hanne, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 60 (2), 2009)
