(3) Planning and scheduling. The student uses heuristic algorithms to solve real-world problems. The student is expected to:

  • (A) use the list processing algorithm to schedule tasks on identical processors;
  • (B) recognize situations appropriate for modeling or scheduling problems;
  • (C) determine whether a schedule is optimal using the critical path method together with the list processing algorithm;
  • (D) identify situations appropriate for modeling by bin packing;
  • (E) use any of six heuristic algorithms to solve bin packing problems;
  • (F) solve independent task scheduling problems using the list processing algorithm; and
  • (G) explain the relationship between scheduling problems and bin packing problems.
