Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: we need to clarify what the term "value-based scheduling" means (there was some disagreement on this point)

Resolution: Rewrote the sentence
Revised Text: Change section headed "Dynamic Scheduling -  value or utility based scheduling" on page 7-3 to read: "Dynamic Scheduling deals with the condition where the values used to order the scheduling of the CPU are a changing function over time.  Therefore, dynamic scheduling uses a scheduler that makes decisions based on importance of each scheduling job, but the importance is continuously reexamined within the dynamic context of execution of the system containing the scheduler.This class of scheduling policy is often called value based or utility based scheduling; it uses a supplied function (which may be but doesn't have to be a function of time, v(t)) to obtain a value for scheduling importance.
Earliest deadline first is a simple concrete example of a specific value function; it is a widely used scheduling policy implemented in a dynamic scheduling manner in many domains, including the telecommunications community. Although earliest deadline is a popular value function the notion can be generalized to any value function that makes sense for a specific domain.
Value based scheduling is currently receiving significant attention."
