It is well known that in a typical real-time system, certain parameters, such as the execution time of a job, are not fixed numbers. In such systems, it is common to characterize ...
We consider online scheduling of splittable tasks on parallel machines. In our model, each task can be split into a limited number of parts, that can then be scheduled independentl...
In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...

The relative worst order ratio is a measure for the quality of online algorithms. Unlike the competitive ratio, it compares algorithms directly without involving an optimal offline...
We consider the sequencing of a series of jobs that arrive at a single processor over time. At each job's arrival time, a due date must be quoted for the job, and the job must...
