ASHP’s Office of Accreditation Services is aware of the wide range of application deadlines established by residency programs and the resultant issues created for residency applicants and for individuals asked by those applicants to write letters of reference. The ASHP Commission on Credentialing has been made aware of these concerns and will make a determination at its August 2018 meeting regarding either a standard application deadline or a “no sooner than” application deadline. The decision will be made and implemented well before the 2019 recruitment season begins.

In this paper, we address the resource minimization problem for DAG-based real-time applications using computer clouds to: (1) guarantee the satisfaction of a real-time application's end-to-end deadline, (2) ensure the number of computers allocated to the application is minimized, and (3) under allocated resources, minimize the application's make span. We first give lower and upper bounds for resources needed to guarantee the satisfaction of a real-time application's deadline. Based on the bounds, we develop a heuristic algorithm called minimal slack time and minimal distance (MSMD) algorithm that finds the minimum number of computers needed to guarantee the application's deadline and schedules tasks on the allocated resources so that the application's make span is minimized. Our experimental results show that the MSMD algorithm can guarantee applications' end-to-end deadlines with less resources compared with other heuristic scheduling algorithms existed in the literature. In addition, under the minimal allocated resources, the MSMD algorithm can, on average, reduce an application's make span by 10% of its deadline.
