            Abstract : 
This article studies a static scheduling method based on workload balancing in the continuous case. An equation is presented for the case when the workload, as continuous-function is equally distributed onto processors based on integrals. A sufficient condition is also established for the fully covering property. Finally, some computational results are given to prove that the continuous case is better that the discrete case.
