        Abstract
        Recently researchers have found evidence that customers use gestalt characteristics when evaluating past and future service bundles. Speci cally, the evidence con rms that the placement of a peak event, the utility of the last event, and the slope of event utility over time impacts customer behavior and perception. This paper introduces a new scheduling paradigm with a focus on optimizing gestalt characteristics in order to maximize customer experiences. We discuss possible contexts in which this type of scheduling might be considered and, as an example, present a particularly complex model of a world-renowned performing arts venue. We solve the problem with a simulated annealing algorithm and further discuss the complexity and opportunities associated with this type of scheduling e ort.

          Grain size management in repetitive task graphs for multiprocessor computer scheduling 

          Negelspach, Greg L. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-09);
          Optimal scheduling of parallel programs onto multiprocessor computers is an exponentially hard problem. Because of this, most scheduling algorithms in use today rely on heuristics to determine the best balance of computation ...
