Dial-a-Ride problems consist of a set V of n vertices in a metric space (denoting travel time between vertices) and a set of m objects represented as source-destination pairs {(si,...
We study open-shop scheduling problems with job release times. The objective is to minimize the makespan. Dense schedules, easy to construct, are often used as approximate solutio...
In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...

We consider the problem of preemptively scheduling a set of n jobs on m (identical, uniformly related, or unrelated) parallel machines. The scheduler may reject a subset of the job...

This paper studies the two-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem with anticipatory setup times and an availability constraint imposed only on the first machine. The obje...
