The process of creating a schedule — deciding how to order these tasks and how to commit resources between the variety of possible tasks — is called scheduling, [3] [4] and a person responsible for making a particular schedule may be called a scheduler. Making and following schedules is an ancient human activity.
Earliest deadline first (EDF) or least time to go is a dynamic scheduling algorithm used in real-time operating systems to place processes in a priority queue. Whenever a scheduling event occurs (a task finishes, new task is released, etc.), the queue will be searched for the process closest to its deadline, which will be the next to be ...
A scheduling algorithm defines how tasks are processed by the scheduling system. In general terms, in the algorithm for a real-time scheduling system, each task is assigned a description, deadline and an identifier (indicating priority). The selected scheduling algorithm determines how priorities are assigned to a particular task.
Timeblocking or time blocking (also known as time chunking [1]) is a productivity technique for personal time management where a period of time—typically a day or week—is divided into smaller segments or blocks for specific tasks or to-dos. It integrates the function of a calendar with that of a to-do list. It is a kind of scheduling. [1]

[ 1 ] Time management involves demands relating to work , social life , family , hobbies , personal interests and commitments.
Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling.The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time.There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs.
