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 study the scheduling of jobs on a single parallel-batching machine with non-identical job sizes and incompatible job families. Jobs from the same family have the same processing time and can be loaded into a batch, as long as the batch…
