Moreover, it is usually desired, to perform this localization in a distributed fashion without using a central processing unit. In this case, only distance measurements to reference nodes which are in range can be utilized. It is proposed in this thesis to also use distance measurements to other moving objects,
The study considers the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines subject to minimization of the maximum completion time and the maximum tardiness expressed in a linear convex objective function. The maximum completion time or makespan is the date when the last job to be completed leaves the system. The maximum tardiness is indicated by the job that is completed with the longest delay rela
