Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

Grouping Techniques for Scheduling Problems: Simpler and Faster
In this paper we describe a general grouping technique to devise faster and simpler approximation schemes for several scheduling problems. We illustrate the technique on two diff...

Convex programming for scheduling unrelated parallel machines
We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...
