In the classical problem of scheduling on unrelated parallel machines, a set of jobs has to be assigned to a set of machines. The jobs have a processing time depending on the machine and the goal is to minimize the makespan, that is the…
We consider the non-preemptive scheduling problem on identical machines where there is a parameter B and each machine in every unit length time interval can process up to B different jobs. The goal function we consider is the makespan…
In this paper, we consider four single-machine scheduling problems with release times, with the aim of minimizing the maximum lateness. In the first problem we have a common deadline for all the jobs. The second problem looks for the Pareto…
We study scheduling problems on a machine with varying speed. Assuming a known speed function we ask for a cost-efficient scheduling solution. Our main result is a PTAS for minimizing the total weighted completion time in this setting. This…
The problem considered is the non-preemptive scheduling of independent jobs that consume a resource (which is non-renewable and replenished regularly) on parallel uniformly related machines. The input defines the speed of machines, size of…
Makespan minimization on parallel identical machines is a classical and intensively studied problem in scheduling, and a classic example for online algorithm analysis with Graham's famous list scheduling algorithm dating back to the 1960s.…
We study approximation algorithms for the problem of minimizing the makespan on a set of machines with uncertainty on the processing times of jobs. In the model we consider, which goes back to~\cite{BertsimasS03}, once the schedule is…
A very well-known machine model in scheduling allows the machines to be unrelated, modelling jobs that might have different characteristics on each machine. Due to its generality, many optimization problems of this form are very difficult…

This paper presents a profound analysis of the robust job scheduling problem with uncertain release dates on unrelated machines. Our model involves minimizing the worst-case makespan and interval uncertainty where each release date belongs…
We introduce a parallel machine scheduling problem in which the processing times of jobs are not given in advance but are determined by a system of linear constraints. The objective is to minimize the makespan, i.e., the maximum job…
In this paper the problem of scheduling of jobs on parallel machines under incompatibility relation is considered. In this model a binary relation between jobs is given and no two jobs that are in the relation can be scheduled on the same…
Given a system model where machines have distinct speeds and power ratings but are otherwise compatible, we consider various problems of scheduling under resource constraints on the system which place the restriction that not all machines…
In this study, we investigate a scheduling problem on identical machines in which jobs require initial setup before execution. We assume that an algorithm can dynamically form a batch (i.e., a collection of jobs to be processed together)…
We consider online preemptive scheduling of jobs arriving one by one, to be assigned to two identical machines, with the goal of makespan minimization. We study the effect of selecting the best solution out of two independent solutions…
We consider basic problems of non-preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines. For a given schedule, defined by a partition of the jobs into m subsets corresponding to the m machines, C_i denotes the completion time of machine i.…
