We consider the sequencing of a series of jobs that arrive at a single processor over time. At each job's arrival time, a due date must be quoted for the job, and the job must...
Abstract Computational Grids consist of a multitude of geographically distributed resources. The co-allocation of several of those resources allows for the execution of highly comp...

In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multip...
We consider the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m identical machines that operate in parallel. Each job has a controllable processing time. The fact that the jobs have...
We study a variant of classical scheduling, which is called scheduling with “end of sequence” information. It is known in advance that the last job has the longest processing ...
