Description: "Scheduling in Parallel Computing Systems: Fuzzy and Annealing techniques advocates the viability of using Fuzzy and Annealing methods in solving scheduling problems for parallel computing systems. The book proposes new techniques for both static and dynamic scheduling, using emerging paradigms that are inspired by natural phenomena, such as fuzzy logic, mean-field annealing, and simulated annealing.

Systems that are designed by using such techniques are often referred to in the literature as intelligent because of their capability to adapt to sudden changes in their environments. Moreover, most of these changes cannot be anticipated in advance or included in the original design of the system."--BOOK JACKET.
