We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...

We present a methodology to automatically generate an online job scheduling method for a custom-made objective and real workloads. The scheduling problem comprises independent para...

In this article, we develop three eflcient extensions to a recent production scheduling algorithm based on Lagrangian relaxation [9]. These extensions handle the following real-wo...
The Open-Shop Problem is a hard problem that can be solved using Constraint Programming or Operation Research methods. Existing techniques are efficient at reducing the search tree...
We study several cost coloring problems, where we are given a graph and a cost function on the independent sets and are to find a coloring that minimizes the function costs of the...
