In this paper we describe a general grouping technique to devise faster and simpler approximation schemes for several scheduling problems. We illustrate the technique on two diff...

In this paper we present a method for creating scheduling heuristics for parallel proportional machine scheduling environment and arbitrary performance criteria. Genetic programmin...
Precedence constraints are a part of a definition of any scheduling problem. After recalling, in precise graph-theoretical terms, the relations between task-on-arc and task-on-nod...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
