Abstract

The problem of parametric scheduling is concerned with checking whether a job-set is parametrically schedulable, subject to a set of imposed constraints. In real-time scheduling, parameterization of the schedule plays an important role in extending the flexibility of the scheduler, particularly in the presence of variable execution times. It has been shown that the existence of parametric schedules can be determined in polynomial time when the constraints are restricted to those that can be represented by a network, unimodular matrix. In this paper, we extend the class of constraints for which parametric schedules can be determined efficiently to include network constraints, such as weighted sum of completion times.
