Abstract

En 中文
We consider two parallel machines scheduling problem where one machine is not available in a specified time period. The unavailable time period is fixed and known in advance. The objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time. The problem is known to be NP-hard. We give a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for the problem. We then generalize the results to the case with m parallel machines. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
