The decision as to which process' pending I/O request shall be handled by an available I/O device is known as I/O scheduling. This is a specific type of scheduling that deals with managing and prioritizing I/O requests. Long-term scheduling deals with selecting which processes will be admitted to the system, while short-term scheduling selects which process will be executed on the CPU next. Medium-term scheduling deals with swapping processes between main memory and secondary storage.
