This paper considers a special class of ow-shop problems, known as the proportionate ow shop. In such a shop, each job ows through the machines in the same order and has equal processing times on the machines. The processing times of di erent jobs may be di erent. It is assumed that all operations o
We investigate the maximum flow time minimization problem of on-line scheduling jobs on m identical parallel machines. When preemption is allowed, we derive an optimal algorithm with competitive ratio 2 -1/m. When preemption is not allowed and m = 2, we show that the First In First Out heuristic ach
