Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-dependent scheduling involves problems in which the processing times of jobs depend on when those jobs are started. This book is a comprehensive study of complexity results and optimal and suboptimal algorithms concerning time-dependent scheduling in single-, parallel- and dedicated-machine environments. In addition to complexity issues and exact or heuristic algorithms which are typically presented in scheduling books, the author also includes more advanced topics such as matrix methods in time-dependent scheduling, and time-dependent scheduling with two criteria. The reader should be familiar with basic notions of calculus, discrete mathematics and combinatorial optimization theory, while the book offers introductory material on NP-complete problems, and the basics of scheduling theory. The author includes numerous examples, figures and tables, he presents different classes of algorithms using pseudocode, and he completes the book with an extensive bibliography, and author, symbol and subject indexes. The book is suitable for researchers working on scheduling, problem complexity, optimization, heuristics and local search algorithms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "A parallel machine scheduling problem is considered in which each job has a processing time and a delivery time. The objective is to find a schedule which minimizes the time by which all jobs are delivered. For the single machine this problem is easily solved in polynomial time, for m [> or =] machines it becomes NP-hard. Several heuristics using list scheduling as a subroutine are proposed and analysed. The best one of our heuristics has a worst-case performance guarantee of 2 - 2 / (m + 1). For the on-line case we give a heuristic with the (best possible) worst-case performance of two."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Attempts to cope with the challenge of optimal utilization of limited resources in accomplishing variegated tasks have resulted in an exciting field known as scheduling theory. The resources and tasks are commonly referred to as machines and jobs, respectively. In this thesis efficient heuristic algorithms are developed, which quickly provide near optimal solutions for various problems in scheduling theory that are practically intractable to solve to optimality. The worst-case performance of the heuristic algorithms is thoroughly analyzed. With respect to machine environments, the scheduling problems considered range from parallel machine shops, through open and flow shops, to common generalizations of the classical shop models. With respect to the job characteristics, these problems may involve preemptive or non-preemptive scheduling, with setup times included in or separated from processing times. With respect to the ways jobs are released and scheduled, both off-line and on-line problems are investigated."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production scheduling helps businesses become more productive and efficiently satisfy consumer needs. Because it falls within the combinatorial category, scheduling work on uniform parallel computers to minimize the makespan measure is a difficult problem under single machine scheduling. The goal of this essay is to show how to design an effective algorithm for this particular situation. The introduction chapter of this text covers single machine scheduling with a single machine, single machine scheduling with parallel machines, and research gap of unform parallel machine scheduling. The goals of the challenge, the assumptions behind the scheduling of uniform parallel machines, and the plan for developing the algorithms are all presented in Chapter 2, which describes the problem. A model and an example of the model utilizing a small size problem are provided in Chapter 3 on the mathematical model for uniform parallel machines scheduling to minimize makespan. The simulated annealing algorithm to minimize makespan in the single machine scheduling problem with uniform parallel machines is presented in Chapter 4. It includes an overview of the algorithm, its skeleton, three newly developed simulated annealing algorithms, and a comparison of them to determine which is the best. The development of a GA-based strategy to reduce the uniform parallel machine scheduling makespan is presented in Chapter 5. This covers the basic structure of the genetic algorithm, factors that impact the GA algorithm, techniques for assigning tasks to machines, and crossover strategies. Additionally, it entails the creation of four GA-based heuristics to reduce makespan and a comparison of them to determine which GA-based heuristic is optimum for scheduling jobs on uniform parallel computers. In order to determine which is optimal, the best GA-based heuristic and the best simulated annealing technique are compared in Chapter 6 to minimize the makespan of scheduling jobs on uniform parallel computers. Appendix 1 for replication 1 and Appendix 2 for replication 2 contain the data needed to test the heuristics in Chapter 4, Chater 5, and Chapter 6. The author expresses gratitude to all of his university colleagues and academicians for their support in releasing this work. The writing style of this text is simple to read. P.

Download or read book Analyzing Various Aspects of Scheduling Independent Jobs on Identical Machines written by Rico Walter and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine scheduling problems are counted among the most classic topics in the field of discrete applied mathematics and operations research and have therefore been intensively studied during the last five decades. One basic problem is the non-preemptively scheduling of a set of independent jobs on identical parallel machines which is dealt with in this thesis. Three different but related objective functions are considered that indirectly aim at practice-oriented balanced schedules. Despite the multitude of contributions to scheduling problems in literature, this thesis brings up interesting questions that have hardly or not yet been investigated. Thereby, detailed and in-depth analyses of heuristic solution procedures as well as dominance-relationships between different heuristics play an important role. Moreover, the present work contributes to optimal scheduling by containing a complete characterization of the set of potentially optimal makespan schedules in a two-machine environment. Finally, attractive ideas and suggestions for future research top off this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the well established text Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems provides an up-to-date coverage of important theoretical models in the scheduling literature as well as significant scheduling problems that occur in the real world. It again includes supplementary material in the form of slide-shows from industry and movies that show implementations of scheduling systems. The main structure of the book as per previous edition consists of three parts. The first part focuses on deterministic scheduling and the related combinatorial problems. The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models; in this part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data are random and not known in advance. The third part deals with scheduling in practice; it covers heuristics that are popular with practitioners and discusses system design and implementation issues. All three parts of this new edition have been revamped and streamlined. The references have been made completely up-to-date. Theoreticians and practitioners alike will find this book of interest. Graduate students in operations management, operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science will find the book an accessible and invaluable resource. Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems will serve as an essential reference for professionals working on scheduling problems in manufacturing, services, and other environments. Reviews of third edition: This well-established text covers both the theory and practice of scheduling. The book begins with motivating examples and the penultimate chapter discusses some commercial scheduling systems and examples of their implementations." (Mathematical Reviews, 2009)
