Preface
Overview and Goals This book is dedicated to scheduling for parallel processing. Presenting a research field as broad as this one poses considerable difficulties. Scheduling for parallel computing is an interdisciplinary subject joining many fields of science and technology. Thus, to understand the scheduling problems and the methods of solving them it is necessary to know the limitations in related areas. Another difficulty is that the subject of scheduling parallel computations is immense. Even simple search in bibliographical database
