We consider the problem of scheduling a tree with general communication delays. Jakoby and Reischuk proved that this problem is NP-hard for binary trees and unlimited number of processors. Firstly, we develop a clustering procedure based on the same lower bounds as Papadimitriou and Yannakakis for a

We consider a general class of multiprocessor shop scheduling problems, preemptive or non-preemptive, with precedence constraints between operations, with job or operation release dates, and with a class of objective functions including weighted sums of job, operations and stage completion times. We
We discuss what we consider to be the 10 most vexing open questions in the area of polynomial time approximation algorithms for NP-hard deterministic machine scheduling problems. We summarize what is known on these problems, we discuss related results, and we provide pointers to the literature. Copy
We study the problem of minimizing the makespan for the precedence multiprocessor constrained scheduling problem with hierarchical communications (Parallel Process. Lett. 10(1) (2000) 133). We propose an 8 5 -approximation algorithm for the Unit Communication Time hierarchical problem with arbitrary
