Minimizing total busy time in parallel scheduling with application to optical networks
—We consider a scheduling problem in which a bounded number of jobs can be processed simultaneously by a single machine. The input is a set of n jobs J = {J1, . . . , Jn}. Each j...

Lower Bounds for Smith's Rule in Stochastic Machine Scheduling
We consider the problem to minimize the weighted sum of completion times in nonpreemptive parallel machine scheduling. In a landmark paper from 1986, Kawaguchi and Kyan [5] showed ...

The Power of Preemption on Unrelated Machines and Applications to Scheduling Orders
Abstract. Scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan is one of the basic, well-studied problems in the area of machine scheduling. In the first ...

Better Bounds for Online Scheduling
We study a classical problem in online scheduling. A sequence of jobs must be scheduled on m identical parallel machines. As each job arrives, its processing time is known. The goa...

Time-Indexed Formulations for Machine Scheduling Problems: Column Generation
Time-indexed formulations for machine scheduling problems have received a great deal of attention; not only do the linear programming relaxations provide strong lower bounds, but ...
