Fair resource allocation is undoubtedly a crucial factor in customer satisfaction in several scheduling scenarios. This is especially apparent in repetitive scheduling models where the same set of clients repeatedly submits jobs on a daily…
The active-time scheduling problem considers the problem of scheduling preemptible jobs with windows (release times and deadlines) on a parallel machine that can schedule up to $g$ jobs during each timestep. The goal in the active-time…
Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be represented by an independent random variable with a known…
In this paper we look at the problem of scheduling tasks on a single-processor system, where each task requires unit time and must be scheduled within a certain time window, and each task can be added to or removed from the system at any…
We consider fundamental scheduling problems motivated by energy issues. In this framework, we are given a set of jobs, each with a release time, deadline and required processing length. The jobs need to be scheduled on a machine so that at…
We study the problem of scheduling periodic real-time tasks so as to meet their individual minimum reward requirements. A task generates jobs that can be given arbitrary service times before their deadlines. A task then obtains rewards…
We consider the class of single machine scheduling problems with the objective to minimize the weighted number of late jobs, under the assumption that completion due-dates are not known precisely at the time when decision-maker must provide…
Consider the many shared resource scheduling problem where jobs have to be scheduled on identical parallel machines with the goal of minimizing the makespan. However, each job needs exactly one additional shared resource in order to be…
This paper is motivated by periodic data transmission in autonomous cars. We considered periodic tasks (with different periods) on one or several machines. After reviewing the literature on the subject, we managed to generalize a result of…
This research addresses the multiprocessor scheduling problem of hard real-time systems, and it especially focuses on optimal and global schedulers when practical constraints are taken into account. First, we propose an improvement of the…
We study the problem of preemptive scheduling of n equal-length jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. Recently, Brucker and Kravchenko proved that the optimal…
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling a set of jobs that are released over the time on a set of identical parallel machines, aiming at the minimization of the total weighted completion time. This problem, referred to as $P|r_j|\sum…
This paper presents a novel idea for the general case of the Common Due-Date (CDD) scheduling problem. The problem is about scheduling a certain number of jobs on a single or parallel machines where all the jobs possess different processing…
In this paper, we consider the parameterized complexity of the following scheduling problem. We must schedule a number of jobs on $m$ machines, where each job has unit length, and the graph of precedence constraints consists of a set of…
Computations, where the number of results is much smaller than the input data and are produced through some sort of accumulation, are called Reductions. Reductions appear in many scientific applications. Usually, reductions admit an…
We study the problem of scheduling asynchronous round-robin tournaments. We consider three measures of a schedule that concern the quality and fairness of a tournament. We show that the schedule generated by the well-known "circle design"…
We revisit the complexity of the classical Interval Scheduling in the dynamic setting. In this problem, the goal is to maintain a set of intervals under insertions and deletions and report the size of the maximum size subset of pairwise…
We study the early work scheduling problem on identical parallel machines in order to maximize the total early work, i.e., the parts of non-preemptive jobs executed before a common due date. By preprocessing and constructing an auxiliary…
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.…
We design a Copula-based generic randomized truthful mechanism for scheduling on two unrelated machines with approximation ratio within $[1.5852, 1.58606]$, offering an improved upper bound for the two-machine case. Moreover, we provide an…
