A global constraint for total weighted completion time for unary resources
We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, we propose an O(n4...

Mechanism Design for Decentralized Online Machine Scheduling
We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from the perspective of algorithmic mechanism desig...

A global constraint for total weighted completion time for cumulative resources
The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...

The Power of Preemption in Economic Online Markets
Abstract. In distributed computer networks where resources are under decentralized control, selfish users will generally not work towards one common goal, such as maximizing the o...

Stochastic Online Scheduling Revisited
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...

Inapproximability of Hypergraph Vertex Cover and Applications to Scheduling Problems
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC), we show optimal inapproximability results for two classic scheduling problems. We obtain a hardness of 2 − ε for the problem of mini...

A Global Constraint for Total Weighted Completion Time
We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, an O(n4 ) algorithm...
