Cost Sharing in a Job Scheduling Problem

Mishra, Debasis; Rangarajan, Bharath - 2007

A set of jobs need to be served by a server which can serve only one job at a time. Jobs have processing times and incur waiting costs (linear in their waiting time). The jobs share their costs through compensation using monetary transfers. In the first part, we provide an axiomatic...

Queueing problems with two parallel servers

Chun, Youngsub (contributor); Heo, Eun Jeong (contributor) - 2007

A group of agents are waiting for their job to be processed in a facility. We assume that each agent needs the same amount of processing time and incurs waiting costs. The facility has two parallel servers, being able to serve two agents at a time. We are interested in finding the order to serve...
