Scheduling Algorithms for Procrastinators
This paper presents scheduling algorithms for procrastinators, where the speed that a procrastinator executes a job increases as the due date approaches. We give optimal off-line ...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...
