round-robin
<algorithm> A scheduling algorithm in which processes are activated in a fixed cyclic order. Those which cannot proceed because they are waiting for some event (e.g. termination of a child process or an input/output operation) simply return control to the scheduler. The virtue of round-robin scheduling is its simplicity - only the processes themselves need to know what they are waiting for or how to tell if it has happened. However, if a process goes back to sleep just before the event for which it is waiting occurs then the event will not get handled until all the other processes have been activated.
Compare priority scheduling.

Round-robin
The term round-robin describes correspondence to a single address authored or signed by numerous individuals. For example a petition.
Colloquially, however, 'round-robin' is frequently given an opposite meaning, being used to describe a letter with a single author copied and sent to multiple recipients, for example the sending of family news at Christmas. This is more correctly termed a circular.
In sport, round-robin refers to every player or team in a group or pool taking turns to play one another a set number of times. This may be called the group stage (or phase) of a tournament, prior to the knock-out stage. (See Round-robin tournament for article).
