InformationScheduling

InformationThis

is

information

that

to

perform

function.

Typical

items

oinformation:Process

state:

defines

the

readiness

of

the

processbe

scheduled

for

execution

(e.g.,

running,

ready,

waitinghalted).Priority:

One

or

more

fields

may

be

used

to

describethe

scheduling

priority

of

the

process.

In

some

systems,several

values

are

required

(e.g.,

default,

current,

highallowable)Scheduling-related

information:

This

will

dependthe

scheduling

algorithm

Examples

are

the

amount

oftime

that

the
