Consider a single machine and a set of jobs that are available for processing at time 0. Job ¡ has a processing time ¢¤£ , a due date ¥¦£ and a weight §¨£ . We consid...
Multimedia applications have dynamic and adaptive realtime requirements. Current scheduling practice, as typified by UNIX System V Release 4, lacks the necessary information and ...
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC), we show optimal inapproximability results for two classic scheduling problems. We obtain a hardness of 2 − ε for the problem of mini...
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...

This paper describes a new approach for solving disjunctive temporal problems such as the open shop and job shop scheduling domains. Much previous research in systematic search app...
