The paper considers single-machine scheduling problems with a non-renewable resource. In this setting, we are given a set jobs, each of which is characterized by a processing time, a weight, and the job also has some resource requirement.…
Scheduling with testing is a recent online problem within the framework of explorable uncertainty motivated by environments where some preliminary action can influence the duration of a task. Jobs have an unknown processing time that can be…
We consider a recently introduced fair repetitive scheduling problem involving a set of clients, each asking for their associated job to be daily scheduled on a single machine across a finite planning horizon. The goal is to determine a job…
We study flow shop scheduling with stochastic reentry, where jobs must complete multiple passes through the entire shop, and the number of passes that a job requires for completion is drawn from a discrete probability distribution. The goal…
We propose a Boolean Linear Programming model for the preemptive single machine scheduling problem with equal processing times, arbitrary release dates and weights(priorities) minimizing the total weighted completion time. Almost always an…
This paper mainly focuses on a resource leveling variant of a two-processor scheduling problem. The latter problem is to schedule a set of dependent UET jobs on two identical processors with minimum makespan. It is known to be…
Generalizing many well-known and natural scheduling problems, scheduling with job-specific cost functions has gained a lot of attention recently. In this setting, each job incurs a cost depending on its completion time, given by a private…
The Next Release Problem consists in selecting a subset of requirements to develop in the next release of a software product. The selection should be done in a way that maximizes the satisfaction of the stakeholders while the development…
We study a fair resource scheduling problem, where a set of interval jobs are to be allocated to heterogeneous machines controlled by agents. Each job is associated with release time, deadline, and processing time such that it can be…
In this paper we consider the classic scheduling problem of minimizing total weighted completion time on unrelated machines when jobs have release times, i.e, $R | r_{ij} | \sum_j w_j C_j$ using the three-field notation. For this problem, a…

The Windows Scheduling Problem, also known as the Pinwheel Problem, is to schedule periodic jobs subject to their processing frequency demands. Instances are given as a set of jobs that have to be processed infinitely often such that the…
We study a natural variant of scheduling that we call \emph{partial scheduling}: In this variant an instance of a scheduling problem along with an integer $k$ is given and one seeks an optimal schedule where not all, but only $k$ jobs, have…
We are given a set of $n$ jobs and a single processor that can vary its speed dynamically. Each job $J_j$ is characterized by its processing requirement (work) $p_j$, its release date $r_j$ and its deadline $d_j$. We are also given a budget…
