Lecture

Thoery of Scheduling

Overview of the course

Scheduling problems occur whenever we have a choice as to the order of jobs or operations under resource constraints, and as a result of our decision there are differences in the performance measures under consideration. In other words, the scheduling problem is a kind of decision making problem under resource constraints. This course is offered for doctoral students who may find the subject interesting for their thesis work. The topics include Single Machine Sequencing, Parallel Machine Scheduling, Flow Shop Scheduling, Job Shop Scheduling, Project Scheduling. In addition, a new optimization techniques such as Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithm, Theory of Constraints will also be covered.
