Abstract. We consider the single machine scheduling problem to minimize the average weighted completion time under precedence constrains. Improving on the various 2-approximation a...
Linear precedence (LP) rules are widely used for stating word order principles. They have been adopted as constraints by HPSG but no encoding in the formalism has been provided. S...
We evaluate the average-case performance of three approximation algorithms for online non-clairvoyant scheduling of parallel tasks with precedence constraints. We show that for a ...
This paper presents different methods for solving parallel machine scheduling problems with precedence constraints and setup times between the jobs. Limited discrepancy search met...
We present a solution to the winner determination problem which takes into account not only costs but also risk aversion of the agent that accepts the bids, and which works for au...
