We study shared processor scheduling of $\textit{multiprocessor}$ weighted jobs where each job can be executed on its private processor and simultaneously on possibly $\textit{many}$ processors shared by all jobs in order to reduce their…
In the scheduling with non-uniform communication delay problem, the input is a set of jobs with precedence constraints. Associated with every precedence constraint between a pair of jobs is a communication delay, the time duration the…
We consider here the MultiBot problem for the scheduling and the resource parametrization of jobs related to the production or the transportation of different products inside a given time horizon. Those jobs must meet known in advance…
In this work, we study a single-machine scheduling problem that aims at minimizing the total cost of a schedule subject to start-time dependent costs. This framework naturally captures scenarios where costs fluctuate throughout the day,…
We study the parameterized complexity of a generalization of the coordinated motion planning problem on graphs, where the goal is to route a specified subset of a given set of $k$ robots to their destinations with the aim of minimizing the…
The sequential allocation protocol is a simple and popular mechanism to allocate indivisible goods, in which the agents take turns to pick the items according to a predefined sequence. While this protocol is not strategy-proof, it has been…
In this paper we consider a combination of the joint replenishment problem (JRP) and single machine scheduling with release dates. There is a single machine and one or more item types. Each job has a release date, a positive processing…
We consider the classical scheduling problem on a single machine, on which we need to schedule sequentially $n$ given jobs. Every job $j$ has a processing time $p_j$ and a priority weight $w_j$, and for a given schedule a completion time…
We study classic scheduling problems on uniformly related machines. Efficient polynomial time approximation schemes (EPTAS's) are fast and practical approximation schemes. New methods and techniques are essential in developing such improved…
In this paper we study a proportionate flow shop of batching machines with release dates and a fixed number $m \geq 2$ of machines. The scheduling problem has so far barely received any attention in the literature, but recently its…
We consider the two-parallel machines scheduling problem, with the aim of minimizing the maximum lateness and the makespan. Formally, the problem is defined as follows. We have to schedule a set J of n jobs on two identical machines. Each…
Parameterized complexity theory offers a framework for a refined analysis of hard algorithmic problems. Instead of expressing the running time of an algorithm as a function of the input size only, running times are expressed with respect to…
We consider the problem of scheduling multiprocessor jobs to minimize the total completion time under the given energy budget. Each multiprocessor job requires more than one processor at the same moment of time. Processors may operate at…
We consider the single machine scheduling problem with job-dependent machine deterioration. In the problem, we are given a single machine with an initial non-negative maintenance level, and a set of jobs each with a non-preemptive…
This paper mainly focuses on a resource leveling variant of a two-processor scheduling problem. The latter problem is to schedule a set of dependent UET jobs on two identical processors with minimum makespan. It is known to be…
This paper studies scheduling coupled tasks with exact delays to minimize maximum lateness. The first task has processing time $p>0$ and the second $b_i\geq 0$, also the second needs to start exactly $p$ units of time after the completion…
The Makespan Scheduling problem is an extensively studied NP-hard problem, and its simplest version looks for an allocation approach for a set of jobs with deterministic processing times to two identical machines such that the makespan is…
This paper introduces a novel scheduling problem, where jobs occupy a triangular shape on the time line. This problem is motivated by scheduling jobs with different criticality levels. A measure is introduced, namely the binary tree ratio.…
Learning the value function of a given policy from data samples is an important problem in Reinforcement Learning. TD($\lambda$) is a popular class of algorithms to solve this problem. However, the weights assigned to different $n$-step…
We present a unified framework for designing deterministic monotone polynomial time approximation schemes (PTAS's) for a wide class of scheduling problems on uniformly related machines. This class includes (among others) minimizing the…
