This paper focuses on the analysis of real-time non preemptive multiprocessor scheduling with precedence and several latency constraints. It aims to specify a schedulability condition which enables a designer to check a priori -without…

Real-life parallel machine scheduling problems can be characterized by: (i) limited information about the exact task duration at scheduling time, and (ii) an opportunity to reschedule the remaining tasks each time a task processing is…

In this paper, we address the inherent limitations in traditional assembly line balancing, specifically the assumptions that task times are constant and no defective outputs occur. These assumptions often do not hold in practical scenarios,…

Makespan minimization on identical parallel machines is a classical scheduling problem. We consider the online scenario where a sequence of $n$ jobs has to be scheduled non-preemptively on $m$ machines so as to minimize the maximum…

We study problems of scheduling jobs on related machines so as to minimize the makespan in the setting where machines are strategic agents. In this problem, each job $j$ has a length $l_{j}$ and each machine $i$ has a private speed $t_{i}$.…

We consider a type of optimal switching problems with non-uniform execution delays and ramping. Such problems frequently occur in the operation of economical and engineering systems. We first provide a solution to the problem by applying a…

This paper considers an optimal impulse control problem of dynamical systems generated by a flow. The performance criteria are total costs over the infinite time horizon. Apart from the main performance to be minimized, there are multiple…

Streamlining constraints (or streamliners, for short) narrow the search space, enhancing the speed and feasibility of solving complex constraint satisfaction problems. Traditionally, streamliners were crafted manually or generated through…

In this paper, a mixed integer linear formulation for problems considering time-of-use-type constraints for uninterruptible services is presented. Our work is motivated by demand response problems in power systems, in which certain devices…

We consider optimizing average queueing delay and average power consumption in a nonpreemptive multi-class M/G/1 queue with dynamic power control that affects instantaneous service rates. Four problems are studied: (1) satisfying per-class…

Dial a ride problems consist of a metric space (denoting travel time between vertices) and a set of m objects represented as source-destination pairs, where each object requires to be moved from its source to destination vertex. We consider…

We consider the classic problem of scheduling a set of n jobs non-preemptively on a single machine. Each job j has non-negative processing time, weight, and deadline, and a feasible schedule needs to be consistent with chain-like precedence…

The \emph{Workflow Satisfiability Problem (WSP)} is a problem of practical interest that arises whenever tasks need to be performed by authorized users, subject to constraints defined by business rules. We are required to decide whether…

We consider TSP with time windows and service time. In this problem we receive a sequence of requests for a service at nodes in a metric space and a time window for each request. The goal of the online algorithm is to maximize the number of…

In many use cases the execution time of tasks is unknown and can be chosen by the designer to increase or decrease the application features depending on the availability of processing capacity. If the application has real-time constraints,…

We consider job scheduling settings, with multiple machines, where jobs arrive online and choose a machine selfishly so as to minimize their cost. Our objective is the classic makespan minimization objective, which corresponds to the…

We consider a general load balancing problem on parallel machines. Our machine environment in particular generalizes the standard models of identical machines, and the model of uniformly related machines, as well as machines with a constant…

We consider a natural generalization of scheduling $n$ jobs on $m$ parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan. In our extension the set of jobs is partitioned into several classes and a machine requires a setup whenever it switches…

When scheduling quantum operations, a shorter overall execution time of the resulting schedule yields a better throughput and higher fidelity output. In this paper, we demonstrate that quantum operation scheduling can be interpreted as a…

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)…
