A polynomial algorithm is proposed for two scheduling problems for which the complexity status was open. A set of jobs with unit processing times, release dates and outtree precedence relations has to be processed on parallel identical machines such that the total completion time ∑ C j is...

Problems with unit execution time tasks and two identical parallel processors have received a great deal of attention in scheduling theory. In contrast to the conventional models, where each task requires only one processor, we consider a situation when a task may require both processors...

The paper surveys the complexity results for job shop, flow shop, open shop and mixed shop scheduling problems when the number n of jobs is fixed while the number r of operations per job is not restricted. In such cases, the asymptotical complexity of scheduling algorithms depends on the number...

In this paper we study the single-machine problem 1|chains(l), p <Subscript> j </Subscript>=p|∑ C <Subscript> j </Subscript> in which jobs with constant processing times and generalized precedence constraints in form of chains with constant delays are given. One has to schedule the jobs on a single machine such that all delays between...</subscript></subscript>
