The problem of scheduling non-simultaneously released jobs with due dates on a single machine with the objective to minimize the maximum job lateness is known to be strongly NP-hard. Here we consider an extended model in which the…
The scheduling literature has traditionally focused on a single type of resource (e.g., computing nodes). However, scientific applications in modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems process large amounts of data, hence have diverse…
Machine scheduling problems involving conflict jobs can be seen as a constrained version of the classical scheduling problem, in which some jobs are conflict in the sense that they cannot be proceeded simultaneously on different machines.…

We consider the classic problem of scheduling a set of n jobs non-preemptively on a single machine. Each job j has non-negative processing time, weight, and deadline, and a feasible schedule needs to be consistent with chain-like precedence…
We consider the following shared-resource scheduling problem: Given a set of jobs $J$, for each $j\in J$ we must schedule a job-specific processing volume of $v_j>0$. A total resource of $1$ is available at any time. Jobs have a resource…
