We provide several non-approximability results for deterministic scheduling problems whose objective is to minimize the total job completion time. Unless P = NP, none of the probl...

We consider the problem of minimizing average flow time on multiple machines when each job can be assigned only to a specified subset of the machines. This is a special case of sc...

We consider the total weighted completion time scheduling problem for parallel identical machines and precedence constraints, P jprecj PwiCi. This important and broad class of pro...

Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, ...
