A scheduling framework applied to digital publishing workflows
Wilson Lozano, Wilson Rivera · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2006
This paper presents the advances in developing a dynamic scheduling technique suitable for automating digital publishing workflows. Traditionally scheduling in digital publishing has been limited to timing criteria. The proposed scheduling strategy takes into account contingency and priority fluctuations. The new scheduling algorithm, referred to as QB-MUF, gives high priority to jobs with low probability of failing according to artifact recognition and workflow modeling critera. The experimental results show the suitability and efficiency of the scheduling strategy.
