Coupled task scheduling with time-dependent processing timesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 24 - Trang 223-236 - 2021
Mostafa Khatami, Amir Salehipour
The single machine coupled task scheduling problem includes a set of jobs, each with two separated tasks, and there is an exact delay between the tasks. We investigate the single machine coupled task scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan under identical processing time for the first task and identical delay period for all jobs, and the time-dependent processing time sett...... hiện toàn bộ
Assigning multiple activities to work shiftsJournal of Scheduling - Tập 15 - Trang 239-251 - 2010
Quentin Lequy, Mathieu Bouchard, Guy Desaulniers, François Soumis, Beyime Tachefine
In some companies such as large retail stores, the employees perform different activities (e.g., cashier or clerk in a specific department) to respond to a customer demand for each activity that varies over the planning horizon and must be fulfilled as soon as possible. For a given time period, this demand translates into an ideal number of employees required for the corresponding activity. During...... hiện toàn bộ
Review of real-time vehicle schedule recovery methods in transportation servicesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 17 - Trang 541-567 - 2013
Monize Sâmara Visentini, Denis Borenstein, Jing-Quan Li, Pitu B. Mirchandani
This paper presents a comprehensive review on methods for real-time schedule recovery in transportation services. The survey concentrates on published research on recovery of planned schedules in the occurrence of one or several severe disruptions such as vehicle breakdowns, accidents, and delays. Only vehicle assignment and rescheduling are reviewed; crew scheduling and passenger logistics proble...... hiện toàn bộ
Scheduling multiple divisible loads in homogeneous star systemsJournal of Scheduling - Tập 11 - Trang 347-356 - 2008
M. Drozdowski, M. Lawenda
In this paper we analyze scheduling multiple divisible loads on a star-connected system of identical processors. It is shown that this problem is computationally hard. Some special cases appear to be particularly difficult, so it is not even known if they belong to the class NP. Exponential algorithms and special cases solvable in polynomial time are presented.
Simultaneous scheduling and location (ScheLoc): the planar ScheLoc makespan problemJournal of Scheduling - Tập 12 - Trang 361-374 - 2008
Donatas Elvikis, Horst W. Hamacher, Marcel T. Kalsch
While in classical scheduling theory the locations of machines are assumed to be fixed we will show how to tackle location and scheduling problems simultaneously. Obviously, this integrated approach enhances the modeling power of scheduling for various real-life problems. In this paper, we introduce in an exemplary way theory and three polynomial solution algorithms for the planar ScheLoc makespan...... hiện toàn bộ
Optimally rescheduling jobs with a Last-In-First-Out bufferJournal of Scheduling - - 2021
Gaia Nicosia, Andrea Pacifici, Ulrich Pferschy, Julia Resch, Giovanni Righini
AbstractThis paper considers single-machine scheduling problems in which a given solution, i.e., an ordered set of jobs, has to be improved as much as possible by re-sequencing the jobs. The need for rescheduling may arise in different contexts, e.g., due to changes in the job data or because of the local objective in a stage of a supply chain that is not aligned w...... hiện toàn bộ
Optimal and online preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machinesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 12 - Trang 517-527 - 2009
Tomáš Ebenlendr, Jiří Sgall
We consider the problem of preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines. We present a semi-online algorithm which, if the optimal makespan is given in advance, produces an optimal schedule. Using the standard doubling technique, this yields a 4-competitive deterministic and an e≈2.71-competitive randomized online algorithm. In addition, it matches the performance of the previously known alg...... hiện toàn bộ
Late acceptance hill-climbing for high school timetablingJournal of Scheduling - Tập 19 - Trang 453-465 - 2015
George H. G. Fonseca, Haroldo G. Santos, Eduardo G. Carrano
The application of the Late Acceptance Hill-Climbing (LAHC) to solve the High School Timetabling Problem is the subject of this manuscript. The original algorithm and two variants proposed here are tested jointly with other state-of-art methods to solve the instances proposed in the Third International Timetabling Competition. Following the same rules of the competition, the LAHC-based algorithms ...... hiện toàn bộ
