Cyclical scheduling and multi-shift scheduling: Complexity and approximation algorithms
We consider the multiple shift scheduling problem modelled as a covering problem. Such problems are characterized by a constraint matrix that has in every column blocks of consecu...

Approximation Schemes for Scheduling
We discuss scheduling problems with m identical machines and n jobs where each job has to be assigned to some machine. The goal is to optimize objective functions that solely depe...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

Approximation Algorithms for Flexible Job Shop Problems
The Flexible Job Shop problem is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem in which for every operation there is a group of machines that can process it. The p...

Santa Claus Schedules Jobs on Unrelated Machines
One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelate...
