Fair Scheduling Theory

Fair Scheduling Theory is a framework that ensures multiple tasks or users sharing a system (like a computer processor) receive equitable access over time. It aims to balance resource distribution so no single task dominates, promoting efficiency and responsiveness. By dynamically adjusting how tasks are scheduled, the theory helps maintain fairness, preventing starvation of less-priority tasks while optimizing overall performance. This approach is essential in environments like multi-user systems and cloud computing, where diverse workloads must coexist harmoniously.
