Application scheduling can be formulated as a bin packing
problem (BPP), in which a set of items of various sizes need
to be packed by using a minimum number of identical bins.
BPP is one of the oldest and most well-studied problems in
computer science. Numerous methods have been developed for
solving BPP in the past few years, including Best Fit (BF),
First Fit (FF), Best Fit Descending (BFD), First Fit Descending
(FFD) and so on. An excellent survey of the research on BPP
is available in [17] . Let
