Scheduling problems with energy consideration: State of the art and opportunities

Abstract

The target of this study is to find an appropriate research framework on the basis of the main published works designed to resolve the scheduling issues with energy aspect consideration. Relatively, the major part of work is placed in the context when modeling scheduling is subject only to one constraint and criteria, which in reality is not constantly the case. This study is handled in the framework where job transactions are interrupted at the similar time by set of technological, environmental and especially energetic constraints that has been previously little discussed in the literature. As soon as the objective functions, constraints, models, approaches and the scheduling environments that are defined as the fundamental elements of scheduling problems resolution are determined, a literature review of the present state of the art is introduced. Then, an analysis is carried out to highlight the fundamental ideas leading to fix a future research area that still require a huge deal of attention.
