Abstract

This paper deals with the problem where a set of n demands arrives at a system of M identical parallel devices. Each demand i is put on the queue for service at the moment of time di ≥ 0 and is serviced during ti > 0 time units by any device without interruption. A directive period Di is assigned to each demand i. An algorithm is proposed for construction of an optimal schedule (relative to the number of devices) which is based on the method of successive analysis of variants.
