Coupled task scheduling with exact delays: Literature review and models

The coupled task scheduling problem concerns scheduling a set of jobs, each with at least two tasks and there is an exact delay period between two consecutive tasks, on a set of machines to optimize a performance criterion. While research on the problem dates back to the 1980s, interests in the computational complexity of variants … Read more

Coupled task scheduling with time-dependent processing times

The single machine coupled task scheduling problem includes a set of jobs, each with two separated tasks and there is an exact delay between the tasks. We investigate the single machine coupled task scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan under identical processing time for the first task and identical delay period for … Read more
