Download or read book A Book of Open Shop Scheduling written by Wieslaw Kubiak and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth presentation of algorithms for and complexity of open shop scheduling. Open shops allow operations of a job to be executed in any order, contrary to flow and job shops where the order is pre-specified. The author brings the field up to date with more emphasis on new and recent results, and connections with graph edge coloring and mathematical programming. The book explores applications to production and operations management, wireless network scheduling, and timetabling. The book is addressed to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in Operations Research, Operations Management, computer science and mathematics, who are developing and using mathematical approaches to applications in manufacturing, services and distributed wireless network scheduling.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we present approximation algorithms for some multi-processor task scheduling problems. In a scheduling problem, there is a set of processors P that can be used to process a set of tasks T and the goal is to find a feasible scheduling of the tasks on the processors, while optimizing an objective function. In a multi-processor task scheduling problem, tasks can be executed on several processors simultaneously. In scheduling problems, tasks can be preemptive or non-preemptive. Preemptive tasks can be interrupted during their execution and resumed later with no cost. In contrast, a non-preemptive task cannot be interrupted during its execution. In Chapter 2 we propose polynomial time algorithms using linear programming to solve the preemptive scheduling problems for minimizing the maximum completion time, the maximum latency, and the maximum flow time. In Chapter 3 we consider two non-preemptive scheduling problems: the problem of minimizing the maximum completion time when tasks have minimum degree of parallelism, and problem of minimizing the maximum flow time. In Chapter 4 we consider online scheduling of multi-processor tasks with minimum degree of parallelism. In online scheduling, the scheduler does not have access to the entire input instance initially and the scheduler will have access to tasks' characteristics over time. We show that it is not possible for an online scheduler to find a feasible scheduling for all input instances of the problem. We propose a bicriteria (O(log m),1)-approximation algorithm for the problem.

Download or read book Handbook of Approximation Algorithms and Metaheuristics written by Teofilo F. Gonzalez and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Approximation Algorithms and Metaheuristics, Second Edition reflects the tremendous growth in the field, over the past two decades. Through contributions from leading experts, this handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the underlying theory and methodologies, as well as the various applications of approximation algorithms and metaheuristics. Volume 1 of this two-volume set deals primarily with methodologies and traditional applications. It includes restriction, relaxation, local ratio, approximation schemes, randomization, tabu search, evolutionary computation, local search, neural networks, and other metaheuristics. It also explores multi-objective optimization, reoptimization, sensitivity analysis, and stability. Traditional applications covered include: bin packing, multi-dimensional packing, Steiner trees, traveling salesperson, scheduling, and related problems. Volume 2 focuses on the contemporary and emerging applications of methodologies to problems in combinatorial optimization, computational geometry and graphs problems, as well as in large-scale and emerging application areas. It includes approximation algorithms and heuristics for clustering, networks (sensor and wireless), communication, bioinformatics search, streams, virtual communities, and more. About the Editor Teofilo F. Gonzalez is a professor emeritus of computer science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He completed his Ph.D. in 1975 from the University of Minnesota. He taught at the University of Oklahoma, the Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Texas at Dallas, before joining the UCSB computer science faculty in 1984. He spent sabbatical leaves at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education and Utrecht University. He is known for his highly cited pioneering research in the hardness of approximation; for his sublinear and best possible approximation algorithm for k-tMM clustering; for introducing the open-shop scheduling problem as well as algorithms for its solution that have found applications in numerous research areas; as well as for his research on problems in the areas of job scheduling, graph algorithms, computational geometry, message communication, wire routing, etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems, the book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent change-over times and batching. A discussion of multiprocessor task scheduling and problems with multi-purpose machines is accompanied by the methods used to solve such problems, such as polynomial algorithms, dynamic programming procedures, branch-and-bound algorithms and local search heuristics, and the whole is rounded off with an analysis of complexity issues.

The first problem is to distribute cases among panels of judges so as to equalize work loads. We give a worst case analysis of a heuristic for this NP-complete problem. For a given distribution denote by z the heaviest work load. We wish to minimize z. The ratio of the heuristic value z-bar to that of the true optimum z* is shown to be z-bar/z*
