Abstract. Minimizing the makespan or maximizing the minimum machine load are two of the most important and fundamental parallel machine scheduling problems. In an online scenario, ...
A major problem with time slicing on parallel machines is memory pressure, as the resulting paging activity damages the synchronism among a job’s processes. An alternative is to...
We investigate an online version of a basic scheduling problem where a set of jobs has to be scheduled on a number of identical machines so as to minimize the makespan. The job pr...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
This work proposes a parallel memetic algorithm applied to the total tardiness single machine scheduling problem. Classical models of parallel evolutionary algorithms and the gene...
