Many activities in industry and services require the scheduling of tasks that can be
concurrently executed, the most clear example being perhaps the assembly of products …

This book is an outgrowth of an earlier text that appeared in 1999 under the title “Operations
Scheduling with Applications in Manufacturing and Services”, coauthored with Xiuli Chao …

Although the customer order scheduling problem to minimize the total completion time has
received a lot of attention from researchers, the literature has not considered so far the case …

Order scheduling models can be described as follows: A machine environment with a
number of non-identical machines in parallel can produce a fixed variety of different …

In this paper, we address the 2-stage assembly scheduling problem where there are m
machines in the first stage to manufacture the components of a product and one assembly …

We study minimizing the sum of weighted completion times in a concurrent open shop. We
give a primal–dual 2-approximation algorithm for this problem. We also show that several …

Datacenter networks are critical to Cloud computing. The coflow abstraction is a major leap
forward of application-aware network scheduling. In the context of multistage jobs, there are …

The problem addressed in this paper belongs to the topic of order scheduling, in which
customer orders–composed of different individual jobs–are scheduled so the objective …

In this paper, we study a customer order scheduling problem where a number of orders,
composed of several product types, have to be scheduled on a set of parallel machines …
