Maximizing the utilization of operating rooms with stochastic times using simulation
This paper addresses a surgery rooms scheduling problem. The problem is modeled as a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and an objective of mi...

Scheduling two parallel machines with a single server: the general case
This paper considers the problem of scheduling two-operation non-preemptable jobs on two identical semiautomatic machines. A single server is available to carry out the first (or ...

Chromatic Scheduling of 1- and 2-Processor UET Tasks on Dedicated Machines with Availability Constraints
We address a generalization of the classical 1- and 2-processor UET scheduling problem on dedicated machines. In our chromatic model of scheduling machines have non-simultaneous av...

Non-approximability Results for Scheduling Problems with Minsum Criteria
We provide several non-approximability results for deterministic scheduling problems whose objective is to minimize the total job completion time. Unless P = NP, none of the probl...
