  • Publication number: 20240272952
    Abstract: A computer-implemented job scheduling method. From an actual scheduling instance, an augmented scheduling instance is determined that comprises a virtual system for scheduling one or more jobs that are infeasible at the actual systems. A job scheduler is applied to the augmented scheduling instance to obtain an augmented schedule. An actual schedule is determined from the augmented schedule. Jobs that are scheduled on the virtual system in the augmented schedule, are not scheduled in the actual schedule. The actual schedule is output for carrying out the scheduled jobs.

  • Publication number: 20240264930
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a test sequence. The test sequence defines a sequential order of performing multiple tests on an instance of a product using stop-at-first-fail. One or more test data instances are accessed. A test data instance represents respective outcomes of the respective tests for an instance of the product. Test cost values are accessed representing costs of performing the respective tests. An optimization is performed of the sequential order. The optimization is configured to minimize an expected cost of performing the multiple tests according to the sequential order using stop-at-first-fail. The expected cost is determined from the one or more test data instances and the test cost values. Data is output representing the determined sequential order of the test sequence.

  • Publication number: 20240055304
    Abstract: A method is for determining a reduced first amount of testing from a second amount of testing. The method includes provision of a binary matrix, and optimization of a cost function, which is dependent on test variables. Each of test of the second amount of testing is associated with a test variable, and the test variable characterizes whether the test is relevant. The cost function defines constraints: a first constraint is defined in that a result of a matrix/vector multiplication must be greater than or equal to a vector comprising only ones. The matrix of the matrix/vector multiplication is a matrix whose entries all have the value one. The entries of the binary matrix are subtracted, and the vector of matrix/vector multiplication is a vector comprising the test variables. A second constraint is defined in that the test variables are binary.
