Abstract

The problem of scheduling jobs with precedence constraints is a central problem in Scheduling Theory which arises in many industrial and scientific applications. In this paper we present a polynomial time approximation scheme for the problem of scheduling jobs with chain precedence constraints on a fixed number of uniformly related machines. Our algorithm works even if we allow "slow" machines to remain idle. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
