Publisher Summary This chapter discusses different types of sequencing and scheduling
problems, and describes different types of algorithms and the concepts of complexity theory …

The scheduling of computer and manufacturing systems has been the subject of extensive
research for over forty years. In addition to computers and manufacturing, scheduling theory …

Project scheduling is concerned with single-item or small batch production where scarce
resources have to be allocated to dependent activities over time. Applications can be found …

With mobile devices increasingly able to connect to cloud servers from anywhere, resource-
constrained devices can potentially perform offloading of computational tasks to either save …

We consider the problem of nonpreemptive scheduling to minimize average (weighted)
completion time, allowing for release dates, parallel machines, and precedence constraints …

We discuss what we consider to be the 10 most vexing open questions in the area of
polynomial time approximation algorithms for NP‐hard deterministic machine scheduling …

In today's extremely competitive manufacturing market, effective production planning and
scheduling processes are critical to streamlining production and increasing profits. Success …

We consider the problem of scheduling a set of jobs on a single machine with the objective
of minimizing sum of weighted completion times. The problem is NP-hard when there are …

This is a book about scheduling algorithms. The first such algorithms were formulated in the
mid fifties. Since then there has been a growing interest in scheduling. During the seventies …
