Online scheduling with a buffer is a semi-online problem which is strongly related to the basic online scheduling problem. Jobs arrive one by one and are to be assigned to paralle...
Abstract— Scientific computing is being increasingly deployed over volunteer-based distributed computing environments consisting of idle resources on donated user machines. A fu...
Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) are a data structure for Boolean functions which supports many useful operations. It finds applications in CAD, model checking, and symbol...
We provide several non-approximability results for deterministic scheduling problems whose objective is to minimize the total job completion time. Unless P = NP, none of the probl...

Consider the classical online scheduling problem where jobs that arrive one by one are assigned to identical parallel machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We gen...
