We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of weighted completion times of jobs scheduled on unrelated parallel machines. That is, there are n jobs and m machines; job j takes p GH units of time if processed on machine i and has a weight w H . If C H is the completion time of job j, the objective

We discuss scheduling problems with m identical machines and n jobs where each job has to be assigned to some machine. The goal is to optimize objective functions that solely depend on the machine completion times. As a main result, we identify some conditions on the objective function, under which
A general parallel task scheduling problem is considered. A task can be processed in parallel on one of several alternative subsets of processors. The processing time of the task depends on the subset of processors assigned to the task. We first show the hardness of approximating the problem for bot
