We study the online busy time scheduling model on heterogeneous machines. In our setting, jobs with uniform length arrive online with a deadline that becomes known to the algorithm at the job's arrival time. An algorithm has access to…

We consider the problem of scheduling jobs with equal lengths on uniform parallel batch machines with non-identical capacities where each job can only be processed on a specified subset of machines called its processing set. For the case of…

We study a scheduling problem in which jobs may be split into parts, where the parts of a split job may be processed simultaneously on more than one machine. Each part of a job requires a setup time, however, on the machine where the job…

We consider a natural generalization of scheduling $n$ jobs on $m$ parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan. In our extension the set of jobs is partitioned into several classes and a machine requires a setup whenever it switches…

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…
