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

## Abstract We study a problem of scheduling a maintenance activity on parallel identical machines, under the assumption that all the machines must be maintained simultaneously. One example for this setting is a situation where the entire system must be stopped for maintenance because of a required
We give a new and efficient approximation algorithm for scheduling precedenceconstrained jobs on machines with different speeds. The problem is as follows. We are given n jobs to be scheduled on a set of m machines. Jobs have processing times and machines have speeds. It takes p j /s i units of time
