Two-Agent Single-Machine Scheduling with Resource-Dependent Starting Times

Bicriterion Single Machine Scheduling with Resource Dependent Processing Times

A bicriterion problem of scheduling jobs on a single machine is studied. The processing time of each job is a linear decreasing function of the amount of a common discrete resource allocated to the job. A solution is specified by a sequence of the jobs and a resource allocation. The quality of a solution is measured by two criteria, F1 and F2. The first criterion is the maximal or total (weight...

On scheduling a single machine with resource dependent release times

Machine scheduling with resource dependent processing times

We consider several parallel machine scheduling settings with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. The most general of these settings is unrelated parallel machine scheduling. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the processing time of any job is dependent on the usage of a scarce renewable resource. A given amount of that resource, e.g. workers, can be distributed...

Single Machine Scheduling with Resource Dependent

Abstract We consider the single machine scheduling problem with resource dependent release times and processing times, in which both the release times and processing times are strictly linear decreasing functions of the amount of resources consumed. The objective is to minimize the makespan plus the total resource consumption costs. We propose a heuristic algorithm for the general problem by ut...

Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling with Resource Dependent Processing Times

We consider unrelated machine scheduling problems with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. In addition to its machinedependence, the processing time of any job is also dependent on the usage of a scarce renewable resource. An amount of k units of that resource, e.g. workers, can be distributed over the jobs in process, and the more of that resource is allocated to a job, the smalle...
