 Job Scheduling with Deadline – Introduction & Trick to Solve Problems

 What is Job Scheduling?

Job scheduling is a decision-making process in which multiple jobs (tasks) are assigned to a system based on certain constraints such as deadlines, priorities, and available resources.

It is widely used in Operating Systems (CPU Scheduling), Project Management, and Job Allocation in Industries

 Types of Job Scheduling Problems

 Job Sequencing with Deadline (Greedy Algorithm)

Given: A set of n jobs, where each job has:

• A deadline by which it must be completed.
• A profit associated with completing it before the deadline.
  Goal: Maximize total profit by scheduling jobs within their deadlines.

Trick to Solve (Greedy Approach):

1. Sort jobs in descending order of profit.
2. Iterate over each job and place it in the latest available slot before its deadline.
3. If a slot is free, assign the job; else, move to the next job.
4. Repeat until all jobs are scheduled or no slots are available.

Time Complexity: $O(n\log n)$ (sorting) + $O(n)$ (scheduling) = $O(n\log n)$

 Example Problem – Job Sequencing with Deadline

Problem Statement:
You are given 5 jobs with the following profit & deadline values. Each job takes exactly 1 unit of time to complete.

Job	Profit	Deadline
A	100	2
B	50	1
C	20	2
D	200	1
E	150	3

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Sort jobs by profit (descending order):
   D(200) → E(150) → A(100) → B(50) → C(20)
2. Assign jobs within deadlines (latest available slot first):
   • D → Slot 1
   • E → Slot 3
   • A → Slot 2
   • B → No slot left
   • C → No slot left

Final Job Sequence: D → A → E
Total Profit: 200 + 100 + 150 = 450

 Other Job Scheduling Algorithms

FCFS (First Come First Serve) – Simple queue-based scheduling
SJF (Shortest Job First) – Selects the shortest job first
Round Robin (RR) – Equal time slices for each process
Priority Scheduling – Jobs with higher priority execute first

 Conclusion

Greedy approach is the best way to solve Job Scheduling with Deadlines.
Sort jobs by profit → Schedule latest available slot → Maximize total profit.
 Used in CPU scheduling, project management, and resource allocation.
