Online Scheduling of Equal-Length Jobs: Randomization and Restarts Help [chapter]

Marek Chrobak, Wojciech Jawor, Jiří Sgall, Tomáš Tichý
2004 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
We consider the following scheduling problem. The input is a set of jobs with equal processing times, where each job is specified by its release time and deadline.  ...  The goal is to determine a single-processor, non-preemptive schedule that maximizes the number of completed jobs. In the online version, each job arrives at its release time.  ...  We wish to express our gratitude to the anonymous referees, whose numerous and insightful suggestions helped us simplify some arguments and significantly improve the presentation of the paper.  ...

Online Scheduling of Bounded Length Jobs to Maximize Throughput [article]

Christoph Durr, Lukasz Jez, Nguyen Kim Thang
2009 arXiv   pre-print
We consider an online scheduling problem, motivated by the issues present at the joints of networks using ATM and TCP/IP.  ...  More formally, we consider the online scheduling problem with preemptions, where each job j is revealed at release time r_j, has processing time p_j, deadline d_j and weight w_j.  ...  Let b = f ( , 0), a = max{e, b} and c = f ( , a). At time s we release a job A of length a + c and deadline s + a + b + c, as well as a job B of length a + b and tight deadline.  ...

Fault-tolerant parallel scheduling of arbitrary length jobs on a shared channel [article]

Marek Klonowski, Dariusz R. Kowalski, Jarosław Mirek, Prudence W.H. Wong
2018 arXiv   pre-print
We have n arbitrary length jobs to be scheduled on m identical machines, f of which are prone to crashes by an adversary.  ...  We also prove that randomization helps even more, but only against a non-adaptive adversary; in the presence of more severe adaptive adversary, randomization does not help in any setting.  ...  We also showed that randomization helps in case of the non-adaptive adversary, lowering the cost of preemptive scheduling to the absolute lower bound L+Ω(m √ L+mα), while it does not help against more  ...

Models and Strategies for Variants of the Job Shop Scheduling Problem [chapter]

Diarmuid Grimes, Emmanuel Hebrard
2011 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
In this paper, we introduce an adaptation of this technique for an important subclass of job shop scheduling problems (JSPs), where the objective function involves minimization of earliness/tardiness costs  ...  Recently, a variety of constraint programming and Boolean satisfiability approaches to scheduling problems have been introduced.  ...  The latter (in italic font, and referred to as HTS+ in Table 5 ) were run "without limit of computation time".  ...

An Efficient Search Method for Job-Shop Scheduling Problems

L. Shi, Y. Pan
2005 IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering  
Motivated by recent success of local search methods in solving the job-shop scheduling problem, we propose a new diversification technique based on relaxing and subsequently reimposing the capacity constraints  ...  One of the remaining obstacles, however, is the fact that scheduling problems arising from many production environments, including job-shops, are extremely difficult to solve.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENT We would like to thank the associate editor and two anonymous referees for their helpful comments and suggestions, which have helped strengthen the content and presentation of this paper  ...
