Non-approximability Results for Scheduling Problems with Minsum Criteria
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...

Job Shop Scheduling with Probabilistic Durations
Abstract. Proactive approaches to scheduling take into account information about the execution time uncertainty in forming a schedule. In this paper, we investigate proactive appro...

A Fluid Heuristic for Minimizing Makespan in Job Shops
We describe a simple on-line heuristic for scheduling job-shops. We assume there is a fixed set of routes for the jobs, and many jobs, say N, on each route. The heuristic uses saf...

Proportionate flexible flow shop scheduling via a hybrid constructive genetic algorithm
The proportionate flow shop (PFS) is considered as a unique case of the flow shop problem in which the processing times of the operations belonging to the same job are equal. A pr...

How the Landscape of Random Job Shop Scheduling Instances Depends on the Ratio of Jobs to Machines
We characterize the search landscape of random instances of the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Specifically, we investigate how the expected values of (1) backbone size, (2) d...
