Grouping Techniques for Scheduling Problems: Simpler and Faster
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...

Convex programming for scheduling unrelated parallel machines
We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...

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 ...

Preemptive Scheduling with Rejection
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...
