We present a polynomial time approximation algorithm for unit time precedence constrained scheduling. Our algorithm guarantees schedules which are at most 2 - 7 3p+1 factor as lon...
Scheduling under controllable machining conditions has been studied for some time. Scheduling with tool changes, particularly due to tool wear, has just begun to receive attention...
The significance of high-performance dedicated networks has been well recognized due to the rapidly increasing number of large-scale applications that require high-speed data tran...
This paper targets energy-efficient scheduling of tasks over multiple processors, where tasks share a common deadline. Distinct from many research results on heuristics-based ener...
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...
