Abstract

We study the problem of minimizing makespan for the Lazy Bureaucrat Scheduling Problem. We give a pseudopolynomial time algorithm for a preemptive scheduling problem, resolving an open problem by Arkin et al. We also extend the definition of Lazy Bureaucrat scheduling to the multiple-bureaucrat (parallel) setting, and provide pseudopolynomial-time algorithms for problems in that model.
