   I am looking for multiple processor scheduling algorithms.  Specifically,
I am trying to schedule radio telescopes to observe quasars.  Given a state,
i.e. an arrangement of telescopes observing some sources, I need to figure
out the next arrangement of the scopes.  I already have an interactive program
which allows a user to schedule observations manually but due to the time
this takes, automatically generated schedules would potentially be of great
value.  If anyone has any references which discuss scheduling algorithms
in general or algorithms to handle situations similiar to mine, I would
be most appreciative.

Please email to me and I'll post a summary.

Thanks,
