Abstract

See full text

A method and system for scheduling a plurality of concurrent job sequences with constraints of precedence and mutual exclusion is described. In particular, a scheduler for a system performing biological analyzes on clinical samples including non-preemptible jobs which must use a set of resources (machines) and having constraints on release times and execution times is described. The scheduling method uses on-purpose algorithmic solution that extracts the core of DBM data structures and Floyd-Warshall algorithm from the engine of a full-fledged Model Checking tool and tailors it to the specific requirements of the case.
