## 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

ln this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling a set of simultaneously available jobs on several parallel machines. Specifically, the minimization of the time to finish all the jobs assigned to all machines under job deadline constraints for n jobs, m machines problem is formulated in this pap
In this paper, we derive bounds on performance guarantees of online algorithms for real-time preemptive scheduling of jobs with deadlines on K machines when jobs are characterized in terms of their minimum stretch factor (or, equivalently, their maximum execution rate r = 1= ). We consider two well-
