2. Work-conserving scheduler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-conserving_scheduler

   Work-conserving scheduler. In computing and communication systems, a work-conserving scheduler is a scheduler that always tries to keep the scheduled resource (s) busy, if there are submitted jobs ready to be scheduled. In contrast, a non-work conserving scheduler is a scheduler that, in some cases, may leave the scheduled resource (s) idle ...

3. Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_Avoidance...

   The Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool (FAST) was developed by the United States Air Force in 2000–2001 to address the problem of aircrew fatigue in aircrew flight scheduling. FAST is a Windows program that allows scientists, planners and schedulers to quantify the effects of various work-rest schedules on human performance.

7. Starvation (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_(computer_science)

   In computer science, resource starvation is a problem encountered in concurrent computing where a process is perpetually denied necessary resources to process its work. [1] Starvation may be caused by errors in a scheduling or mutual exclusion algorithm, but can also be caused by resource leaks, and can be intentionally caused via a denial-of ...
