Scheduling strategies for the bicriteria optimization of the robustness and makespan
2008
Proceedings, International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS)
In this paper we study the problem of scheduling a stochastic task graph with the objective of minimizing the makespan and maximizing the robustness. ...
We compare these different strategies experimentally and show that we are able to find different approximations of the Pareto front of this bicriteria problem. ...
The problem of defining what robustness is has been studied in the literature. There exists several metrics for describing the robustness of the schedule with regards to the makespan. ...

We compare these different approaches experimentally and show that we are able to find different approximations of the Pareto front for this bicriteria problem. ...
Additionally, we proposed different strategies for minimizing the makespan while maximizing the robustness: from an evolutionary metaheuristic (best solutions but longer computation time) to more simple ...

Energy efficiency, robustness, and makespan optimality in job-shop scheduling problems
2015
Artificial intelligence for engineering design, analysis and manufacturing
However, most of them do not take into account energy consumption and robustness. We focus our attention in a job-shop scheduling problem where machines can work at different speeds. ...
It can be observed that there exists a clear relationship between robustness and energy efficiency and a clear trade-off between robustness/energy efficiency and makespan. ...

The triangle scheduling problem
2017
Journal of Scheduling
We also show that the problem is unary NP-hard for instances with binary tree ratio B Christoph Dürr strictly larger than 2 and provide a quasi-polynomial time approximation scheme. ...
This paper introduces a novel scheduling problem, where jobs occupy a triangular shape on the time line. This problem is motivated by scheduling jobs with different criticality levels. ...
We show that the problem is strongly NP-hard, which implies that TS does not admit a fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS), unless P = N P. ...

Robustness and stability measures for scheduling: single-machine environment
2008
IIE Transactions
This paper addresses the issue of finding robust and stable schedules with respect to random disruptions. Specifically, two surrogate measures for robustness and stability are developed. ...
The results indicate that one of the proposed surrogate measures performs better than existing methods for the total tardiness and total flowtime criteria in a periodic scheduling environment. ...
Note that the average slack method for robustness was originally developed for the job shop scheduling problem with a makespan criterion. ...

Frontiers of Engineering Management
To improve the robustness of the scheduling scheme, we propose a novel slack-based robust scheduling rule (SR) based on the analysis of robustness measurement for SMS with uncertain processing time. ...
The NP-hard scheduling problems of semiconductor manufacturing systems (SMSs) are further complicated by stochastic uncertainties. ...
