Time-indexed formulations for machine scheduling problems have received a great deal of attention; not only do the linear programming relaxations provide strong lower bounds, but ...

This paper proposes efficient algorithms for implementing multicast in heterogeneous workstation/PC clusters. Multicast is an important operation in many scientific and industri...
—We consider a scheduling problem in which a bounded number of jobs can be processed simultaneously by a single machine. The input is a set of n jobs J = {J1, . . . , Jn}. Each j...
Approximate dynamic programming is emerging as a powerful tool for certain classes of multistage stochastic, dynamic problems that arise in operations research. It has been applie...
Due to its optimality on a single machine for the problem of minimizing average flow time, ShortestRemaining-Processing-Time (SRPT) appears to be the most natural algorithm to con...
