Single-machine scheduling with a variable maintenance activity

W Luo, TCE Cheng, M Ji - Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2015 - Elsevier
We consider the problem of scheduling a maintenance activity and jobs on a single
machine, where the maintenance activity must start before a given deadline and the …

Distributionally robust appointment scheduling with moment-based ambiguity set

Y Zhang, S Shen, SA Erdogan - Operations Research Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
We study appointment scheduling under random service duration with unknown
distributions. Given a sequence of appointments arriving at a single server, we assign their …

Dual techniques for scheduling on a machine with varying speed

N Megow, J Verschae - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2018 - SIAM
We study scheduling problems on a machine with varying speed. Assuming a known speed
function we ask for a cost-efficient scheduling solution. Our main result is a polynomial-time …

Exact algorithms for single-machine scheduling problems with a variable maintenance

KC Ying, CC Lu, JC Chen - Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2016 - Elsevier
This paper deals with four single-machine scheduling problems (SMSPs) with a variable
machine maintenance. The objectives of the four SMSPs are to minimize mean lateness …

A primal-dual approximation algorithm for min-sum single-machine scheduling problems

M Cheung, J Mestre, DB Shmoys, J Verschae - SIAM Journal on Discrete …, 2017 - SIAM
We consider the following single-machine scheduling problem, which is often denoted
1||∑f_j: we are given n jobs to be scheduled on a single machine, where each job j has an …

Speed-oblivious online scheduling: knowing (precise) speeds is not necessary

A Lindermayr, N Megow… - … Conference on Machine …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider online scheduling on unrelated (heterogeneous) machines in a speed-
oblivious setting, where an algorithm is unaware of the exact job-dependent processing …

Schedule robustness analysis with the help of attainable sets in continuous flow problem under capacity disruptions

D Ivanov, A Dolgui, B Sokolov… - International Journal of …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Continuous flow scheduling problems have their place in many industries such as gas, oil,

[HTML][HTML] Clustering-based fragmentation and data replication for flexible query answering in distributed databases

L Wiese - Journal of Cloud Computing, 2014 - Springer
One feature of cloud storage systems is data fragmentation (or sharding) so that data can be
distributed over multiple servers and subqueries can be run in parallel on the fragments. On …
