Description:
This book presents multi-agent scheduling models in which subsets of jobs sharing the same resources are evaluated by different criteria. It discusses complexity results, approximation schemes, heuristics and exact algorithms.
Review Quotes: "It is very readable and precisely written. The major results are proved and 43 algorithmic descriptions are provided. The book contains also several numerical examples to illustrate the presented solution approaches. The book is recommended not only for researchers and practitioners working in scheduling, but also for graduate students since only basic knowledge in discrete mathematics, complexity theory, algorithms, and programming languages is required."
