We study the problem of scheduling a set of jobs with release dates, deadlines and processing requirements (or works), on parallel speed-scaled processors so as to minimize the total energy consumption. We consider that both preemption and…
We consider a project that consists of a set of activities performed in parallel under constraints on their start and finish times, including start-finish precedence relationships, release start times, release end times, and deadlines. The…
We study the makespan minimization problem with unrelated selfish machines under the assumption that job sizes are stochastic. We design simple truthful mechanisms that under various distributional assumptions provide constant and…
Project scheduling in manufacturing environments often requires flexibility in terms of the selection and the exact length of alternative production activities. Moreover, the simultaneous scheduling of multiple lots is mandatory in many…
Time-dependent scheduling with linear deterioration involves determining when to execute jobs whose processing times degrade as their beginning is delayed. Each job i is associated with a release time r_i and a processing time function…
Short integer linear programs are programs with a relatively small number of constraints. We show how recent improvements on the running-times of solvers for such programs can be used to obtain fast pseudo-polynomial time algorithms for…
Motivated by modern parallel computing applications, we consider the problem of scheduling parallel-task jobs with heterogeneous resource requirements in a cluster of machines. Each job consists of a set of tasks that can be processed in…
Motivated by the current research in data centers and cloud computing, we study the problem of scheduling a set of two-stage jobs on multiple two-stage flowshops. A new formulation for configurations of such scheduling is proposed, which…
Intersections pose critical challenges in traffic management, where maintaining operational constraints and ensuring safety are essential for efficient flow. This paper investigates the effect of intervention timing in management strategies…
Online makespan minimization is a fundamental problem in scheduling. In this paper, we investigate its over-time formulation, where each job has a release time and a processing time. A job becomes known only at its release time and must be…
In this paper, we study the following batch scheduling model: find a schedule that minimizes total flow time for $n$ uniform length jobs, with release times and deadlines, where the machine is only actively processing jobs in at most $k$…
In this paper, we are interested in parallel identical machine scheduling problems with preemption and release dates in case of a regular criterion to be minimized. We show that solutions having a permutation flow shop structure are…
We consider non-clairvoyant scheduling with online precedence constraints, where an algorithm is oblivious to any job dependencies and learns about a job only if all of its predecessors have been completed. Given strong impossibility…
In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling a dynamical system such that its trajectories satisfy a temporal logic property in a given amount of time. We focus on multi-affine systems and specifications given as syntactically…
Time delays may cause dramatic changes to the dynamics of interacting oscillators. Coupled networks of interacting dynamical systems can behave unexpectedly when the signal between the vertices are time delayed. It has been shown for a very…
Job Shop Scheduling (JSS) is one of the most studied combinatorial optimization problems. It involves scheduling a set of jobs with predefined processing constraints on a set of machines to achieve a desired objective, such as minimizing…
We consider the classic scheduling problem of minimizing the total weighted flow-time on a single machine (min-WPFT), when preemption is allowed. In this problem, we are given a set of $n$ jobs, each job having a release time $r_j$, a…
This article treats optimal sparse control problems with multiple constraints defined at intermediate points of the time domain. For such problems with intermediate constraints, we first establish a new Pontryagin maximum principle that…
The open shop problem is to find a minimum makespan schedule to process each job $J_i$ on each machine $M_q$ for $p_{iq}$ time such that, at any time, each machine processes at most one job and each job is processed by at most one machine.…
We study the classical scheduling problem on parallel machines %with precedence constraints where the precedence graph has the bounded depth $h$. Our goal is to minimize the maximum completion time. We focus on developing approximation…
