Abstract

This paper describes methods of scheduling depend tasks. Algorithm based on effective previous research of author work that consider scheduling of task with divisibility attribute with higher level of dependability. As a specification was used as a acyclic task graph which specifies the tasks and their dependencies. In this work duration of task is specified using probabilistic method, especially normal distribution of probability. The research focuses on scheduling tasks under selected uncertainty conditions.
