In this work we combine resource augmentation and alpha-point scheduling techniques, which have resulted in very good performance scheduling algorithms, to compute approximate solutions for a general family of scheduling problems: each job has a …
Managing the consumption of non-renewable and/or limited resources has become an impor-tant issue in many different settings. In this dissertation we explore the topic of resourcecost aware scheduling. Unlike the purely scheduling problems, in the …
