Restart Schedules for Ensembles of Problem Instances
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...

Optimal On-Line Algorithms to Minimize Makespan on Two Machines with Resource Augmentation
We study the problem of on-line scheduling on two uniformly related machines where the on-line algorithm has resources different from those of the off-line algorithm. We consider ...

New Hybrid Optimization Algorithms for Machine Scheduling Problems
Dynamic programming, branch-and-bound, and constraint programming are the standard solution principles for nding optimal solutions to machine scheduling problems. We propose a new ...

Deconstructing Nowicki and Smutnicki's i-TSAB tabu search algorithm for the job-shop scheduling problem
Over the last decade and a half, tabu search algorithms for machine scheduling have gained a near-mythical reputation by consistently equaling or establishing state-of-the-art per...
