We consider the problem of finding a minimum-length schedule on m machines for a set of n unit-length tasks with a forest of intrees as precedence relation, and with unit interprocessor communication delays. First, we prove that this problem is NP-complete; second, we derive a linear time algorithm

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis for the problem of scheduling trees with communication delays on two identical processors, to minimize the makespan. Tasks are supposed to have unit execution time (UET UET), and the values associated to communication delays are supposed unknown before the
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
