Publisher Summary This chapter discusses different types of sequencing and scheduling
problems, and describes different types of algorithms and the concepts of complexity theory …

The scheduling of computer and manufacturing systems has been the subject of extensive
research for over forty years. In addition to computers and manufacturing, scheduling theory …

Project scheduling is concerned with single-item or small batch production where scarce
resources have to be allocated to dependent activities over time. Applications can be found …

With mobile devices increasingly able to connect to cloud servers from anywhere, resource-
constrained devices can potentially perform offloading of computational tasks to either save …

We consider the problem of nonpreemptive scheduling to minimize average (weighted)
completion time, allowing for release dates, parallel machines, and precedence constraints …

We consider non-clairvoyant scheduling with online precedence constraints, where an
algorithm is oblivious to any job dependencies and learns about a job only if all of its …

We discuss what we consider to be the 10 most vexing open questions in the area of
polynomial time approximation algorithms for NP‐hard deterministic machine scheduling …

In today's extremely competitive manufacturing market, effective production planning and
scheduling processes are critical to streamlining production and increasing profits. Success …

Mechanizing the manual harvesting of fresh market fruits constitutes one of the biggest
challenges to the sustainability of the fruit industry. During manual harvesting of some fresh …
