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 …

We have seen a variety of on-line scheduling problems. Many of them are understood
satisfactorily, but there are also many interesting open problems. Studied scheduling …

Discrete optimization problems are everywhere, from traditional operations research
planning (scheduling, facility location and network design); to computer science databases; …

Elastic partitioning of computations between mobile devices and cloud is an important and
challenging research topic for mobile cloud computing. Existing works focus on the single …

We shall present approximation algorithms for a variety of facility location problems. One of
the most well-studied problems in the Operations Research literature is the …

Personalized production has emerged as a result of the increasing customer demand for
more personalized products. Personalized production systems carry a greater amount of …

This handbook provides an up-to-date compendium of fundamental computer science
topics, techniques, and applications. Along with updating and revising many of the existing …

In this paper, we consider two fundamental multiprocessor scheduling problems: q on-line
multiprocessor scheduling of sequential jobs in a hard-real-time environment, in which all …

We consider the uncapacitated facility location problem. In this problem, there is a set of
locations at which facilities can be built; a fixed cost fi is incurred if a facility is opened at …

Mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization techniques had a great impact in the
history of mankind and helped to understand and improve many processes of different kinds …
