Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers in management, industrial engineering, operations, and computer science have intensely studied scheduling for more than 50 years, resulting in an astounding body of knowledge in this field. Handbook of Scheduling: Algorithms, Models, and Performance Analysis, the first handbook on scheduling, provides full coverage of the most recent and advanced topics on the subject. It assembles researchers from all relevant disciplines in order to facilitate cross-fertilization and create new scheduling insights. The book comprises six major parts, each of which breaks down into smaller chapters: · Part I introduces materials and notation, with tutorials on complexity theory and algorithms for the minimization of makespan, total completion time, dual objectives, maximum lateness, the number of late jobs, and total tardiness. · Part II is devoted to classical scheduling problems. · Part III explores scheduling models that originate in computer science, operations research, and management science. · Part IV examines scheduling problems that arise in real-time systems, focusing on meeting hard deadline constraints while maximizing machine utilization. · Part V discusses stochastic scheduling and queueing networks, highlighting jobs that are not deterministic. · Part VI covers applications, discussing scheduling problems in airline, process, and transportation industries, as well as in hospitals and educational institutions.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scheduling problem is a fundamental and versatile problem in theoretical computer science. It has been extensively studied in many different variations. Most of existing scheduling models only deal with one type of resources, i.e., the machines. However, in many applications, besides the machines, there are other types of critical resources that the jobs may compete for. Different types of resources cause different types of contentions, and the contentions could interfere with each other, which complicate the problem dramatically. In this dissertation, we study the scheduling problems with multi-type contentions and several related problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we will have discussions on two main topics, max-min allocation and schedulingjobs with precedent constraints on machines with communication delays. New approximation algorithms are given in Chapter 2, 4 and 5, where linear programming plays a fairly important role on algorithm designs, while Chapter 3 contains partial results on the general max-min allocation. The Santa Claus problem is also known as the restricted max-min fair allocation. In this problem, Santa Claus has a set of gifts, and he wants to distribute them among a set of children so that the least happy child is made as happy as possible. Here, the value that a child i has for a present j is of the form pij [is an element of] {0, pj}. Based on a modification of Haxell's hypergraph matching argument, a polynomial time algorithm by Annamalai et al. gives a 12.33-approximation. In joint work with Sami Davies and Thomas Rothvoss, a matroid version of the Santa Claus problem is introduced. The algorithm is based on Haxell's augmenting tree, but with the introduction of the matroid structure. Our result can then be used as a blackbox to obtain a (4 + [epsilon])-approximation for Santa Claus, comparing against a natural, compact LP. A recent work of Cheng and Mao [CM19] also gets the factor (4 + [epsilon]). On the second half, we first consider the classic problem of scheduling jobs with precedence constraints on identical machines to minimize makespan, in the presence of communication delays. In this setting, denoted by P | prec, c | Cmax, if two dependent jobs are scheduled on different machines, then at least c units of time must pass between their executions. Despite its relevance to many applications, the best known approximation ratio was O(c), whereas Graham's greedy list scheduling algorithm already gives a (c + 1)-approximation in that setting. An outstanding open problem in the top-10 list by Schuurman and Woeginger and its recent update by Bansal asks whether there exists a constant-factor approximation algorithm. In joint work with Sami Davies, Janardhan Kulkarni, Thomas Rothvoss and Jakub Tarnawski, we give a polynomial-time O(log c · log m)-approximation algorithm for this problem, where m is the number of machines and c is the communication delay. Our approach is based on a Sherali-Adams lift of a linear programming relaxation and a randomized clustering of the semimetric space induced by this lift. Finally, a more general version of this problem is considered in Chapter 5, to minimize the weighted sum of completion times on related machines, denoted by Q | prec, c | wjCj . Our main result is an O(log4 n)-approximation algorithm for the problem. As a byproduct of our result, we also obtain an O(log3 n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of minimizing makespan Q | prec, c | Cmax, which improves upon the O(log5 n/ log log n)-approximation algorithm due to a recent work of Maiti et al. [MRS+20].
