Lukasz, any discussion about achieving completion of a specific effort consisting of subtasks that can be performed in parallel has to include:

  1. Critical path method.
  2. Critical path drag.
  3. Drag cost.

I would urge you to look up all three of these on the Internet (I'd start with Wikipedia). And I'd also recommend the following article:

http://www.dau.mil/pubscats/ATL%20Docs/Jan_Feb_2012/Devaux.pdf

Obviously, the article is aimed at a specific project management audience -- but I suspect you can adapt the ideas to a machine context. And since most academics are ignorant of the concept of critical path drag, they might find the info in your paper new and impressive.

Good luck.

Fraternally in project management,
