A PTAS for semiconductor burn-in scheduling

Research output: Journal Publications and Reviews › RGC 21 - Publication in refereed journal › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper a polynomial time approximation scheme, PTAS for short, is presented for the problem of scheduling jobs in a batch processing system. Each job has a pre-defined release date, which indicates when the job is available, and a pre-defined burn-in time, which is the least time needed for processing the job. At one time, at most B jobs can be processed together, where B is a pre-given number. No preemption is permitted. © 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
