Round Robin – how to determine the optimal quantum of time?
I have to calculate the proper quantum of time for Round Robin process scheduling algorithm. As I read in Tanenbaum’s book, the quantum of time should cover like 80% of the running time of all processes.
One Scheduler vs. Many Schedulers
I’ve been using a single scheduler to handle all my scheduled tasks (Quartz.Net). I’m starting to rethink how this operates because if I need to update 1 task, I have to stop the entire process, release the update, and start it back up.

What are some algorithms that can assist with reservation time scheduling?
Here’s the gist of the problem: There are multiple service providers who each have their own schedules of availability. There are multiple customers who seek their services. Customers need to be able to book a reservation time for the service but they should only be able to book times in which some service provider is available (ie they don’t really care which particular provider they get so long as they get a provider). Unfortunately, service providers may change schedules between when the customer registers and when the service is provided, meaning that even with the reservation safeguards in place there could still end up being too many reservations for a given time.
