Given a set of jobs, each consisting of a number of weighted intervals on the real line, and a number m of machines, we study the problem of selecting a maximum weight subset of th...
We study algorithmic problems in multi-stage open shop processing systems that are centered around reachability and deadlock detection questions. We characterize safe and unsafe s...

Abstract. Overload checking, forbidden regions, edge finding, and notfirst/not-last detection are well-known propagation rules to prune the start times of activities which have t...
We consider the problem of preemptively scheduling a set of n jobs on m (identical, uniformly related, or unrelated) parallel machines. The scheduler may reject a subset of the job...

We study the problem of scheduling unit size jobs on n processors connected by a ring. We show a distributed algorithm for this problem with an approximation ratio of 3 2 + √ 2....
