Handbook on Scheduling (eBook, PDF)

From Theory to Applications

Beschreibung

This book provides a theoretical and application-oriented analysis of deterministic scheduling problems arising in advanced planning and computer systems. The text examines specific scheduling problems across a range of parameters: job priority, release times, due dates, processing times, precedence constraints, resource usage and more, focusing on such topics as computer systems and supply chain management. Analysis and solutions are presented through polynomial and exponential time optimization algorithms as well as approximation and heuristic approaches. The book explores a variety of problems including single and parallel processors, flexible shops and manufacturing systems, and resource-constrained project scheduling.

Many applications from industry and service operations management and case studies are described. The handbook is an indispensable source for a broad audience, ranging from researchers to practitioners, graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
