Abstract: This paper explores the distributed flow shop scheduling problem within the realm of production scheduling and proposes an optimisation algorithm. We first establish a multi - objective ...

This paper considers the no-wait scheduling of n jobs in a two-machine flow shop, where some jobs require processing on the first machine only. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time ...

We study the problem of obtaining feasible preemptive schedules for independent jobs. It is assumed that each job has associated with it a release and due time. No job can begin before its release ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...
