paper_title: Application of Workflow Technology to Current Dispatching Order System

paper_content:

Summary In the paper, workflow technology is firstly applied to the current dispatching order system for railway transportation. The system set up workflow model which conform to the existing system and resource. And the system adopts flexible workflow process mechanism to enhance the adaptability and opening and solve the exception and abnormity manipulation. The results show that it can not only provide the dispatching orders system with drafting and release function, but also set dispatcher free from the fussy daily business and predigest task flow and heighten production efficiency.

paper_title: Comparative Analysis of Job grouping based Scheduling Strategies in Grid Computing

paper_content:

computing is a form of distributed computing that provides a platform for executing large-scale resource intensive applications on a number of heterogeneous computing systems across multiple administrative domains. Therefore, Grid platforms enable sharing, exchange, discovery, selection, and aggregation of distributed heterogeneous resources such as computers, databases and visualization devices. Job and resource scheduling is one of the key research area in grid computing. In a grid computing environment, a scheduler is responsible for selecting the best suitable computing resources in the grid for processing jobs to achieve high system throughput. Further, grouping the fine grained jobs according to the processing capability of available resources results in better throughput, resource utilization and low communication time. Motivation of this study is to encourage and help the amateur researcher in the field of grid computing, so that they can understand easily the concept of scheduling, job grouping and can contribute in developing more efficient and practical scheduling algorithm. In this paper, we compared three job grouping based scheduling algorithms that will benefit interested researchers to carry out further work in this thrust area of research.
