%0 Journal Article %T Path Optimization Algorithm For Network Problems Using Job Sequencing Technique %A Punit Kumar Singh %A Rakesh Kumar %J International Journal of Distributed and Parallel Systems %D 2012 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X The job sequencing technique is used to determine an optimal sequence. It performs a series of jobs by a number of specific orders so that it calculates the optimal cost. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to find an optimal path from source to destination by taking advantage of job sequencing technique. Wehave used n jobs m machine sequencing technique and this is divided into n jobs 2 machine problems. Using Johnson¡¯s sequencing rule, we solved the problem and obtained the (n-1) sub sequences of the route. Using the proposed algorithm, we calculated the optimal sequence, which leads to the shortest path of the network. %K Job sequencing technique %K Optimal sequence %K minimal path %K optimal distance %K Johnson¡¯s sequencing rule %K MPLS.. %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijdps/papers/0512ijdps25.pdf
