We present in this paper a 5/2-approximation algorithm for scheduling rigid jobs on multi-organizations. For a given set of n jobs, the goal is to construct a schedule for N organi...
We consider the problem of scheduling jobs on a pool of machines. Each job requires multiple machines on which it executes in parallel. For each job, the input specifies release ti...

We are given a set of jobs each has a processing time, a non-negative weight, a set of possible time intervals in which it can be processed and a cost. The goal is to schedule a f...
Abstract. We consider the scheduling problem of minimizing the average weighted job completion time on a single machine under precedence constraints. We show that this problem with...
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...
