Abstract

The basic scheduling problem we are dealing with is the following. There are n jobs, each requiring an identical execution time. All jobs have to be processed on a set of parallel machines. Preemptions can be either allowed or forbidden. The aim is to construct a feasible schedule such that a given criterion is minimized. In this paper, we survey existing approaches for the problem class considered.
