โฆ Synopsis
This article deals with the problem of scheduling jobs with random processing times on single machine in order to minimize the expected variance of job completion times. SutTicient conditions for the existence of V-shaped optimal sequences are derived separately for general and ordered job processing times. It is shown that when coefficient of variation of random processing times are bounded by a certain value, an optimal sequence is V-shaped.

We study the problem of minimizing the weighted number of late jobs to be scheduled on a single machine when processing times are equal. In this paper, we show that this problem, as well as its preemptive variant, are strongly polynomial. When preemption is not allowed ( 1"p H "p, r H " w H ; H ), t
