Temporal load-balancing - "spreading out" the executions of tasks over time - is desirable in many applications in complex systems. A form of temporal load-balancing is discussed, scheduling to maximize minimum inter-completion time (MICT-scheduling) and minimum global inter-completion time (MGICT-scheduling). It is shown that MICT- and MGICT-scheduling are , in general, NP-hard. A number of restricted classes of task systems are identified, which can be efficiently MICT- and MGICT-scheduled.
Index Terms:
non-preemptive scheduling, independent tasks, single and multiple processors, load-balancing, complex systems.
