Each one of several impatient agents has a job that needs to be processed by a server. The server can process the jobs sequentially, one at a time. Agents are privately informed about the realization of a random variable representing processing time. If the cost of delay is represented by a concave function of waiting time till job completion, the efficient shortest processing time first schedu...

An important issue in multiprogrammed multiprocessor systems is the scheduling of parallel jobs. Consequently, there has been a considerable amount of analytic research in this area recently. A frequent criticism, however, is that proposed disciplines that are studied analytically are rarely ever implemented and even more rarely incorporated into commercial scheduling software. In this paper, w...
