Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
In this paper, we study the complexity and approximability of the orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) scheduling problem with uniformly related communication chan...
Abstract. We consider the problem of scheduling jobs on related machines owned by selfish agents and provide the first deterministic mechanisms with constant approximation that a...

One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelate...
We give a quick overview of some key issues in (quantitative) call center management: building realistic models, developing efficient tools to simulate these models, finding qui...
