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 ...

Preemptive Scheduling of Equal-Length Jobs in Polynomial Time
We study the preemptive scheduling problem of a set of n jobs with release times and equal processing times on a single machine. The objective is to minimize the sum of the weighte...

On Energy-Constrained Real-Time Scheduling
In this paper, we explore the feasibility and performance optimization problems for real-time systems that must remain functional during an operation/mission with a fixed, initial...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
