Given a sequencing of jobs on a single machine, each one with a weight, processing time, and a due date, the tardiness of a job is the time needed for its completion beyond its du...

One machine scheduling problem with fuzzy processing times and a penalty for each job being late (the penalty is independent of the magnitude of the lateness) is considered. The o...
Resource reservations are a very popular choice to schedule multimedia tasks. However, the high variability of the resource requirements hinders a static choice of the scheduling ...
