Scheduling with Precedence Constraints of Low Fractional Dimension
Abstract. We consider the single machine scheduling problem to minimize the average weighted completion time under precedence constrains. Improving on the various 2-approximation a...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...

Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

Machine Scheduling with Availability Constraints
We will give a survey on results related to scheduling problems where machines are not continuously available for processing. We will deal with single and multi machine problems an...

Bi-objective Approximation Scheme for Makespan and Reliability Optimization on Uniform Parallel Machines
We study the problem of scheduling independent tasks on a set of related processors which have a probability of failure governed by an exponential law. We are interested in the bi-...
