Abstract

Fair sequences allocate capacity to competing demands in a variety of manufacturing and computer systems. This paper considers three problems that motivate generating cyclic fair sequences: (1) the response time variability problem, (2) routing jobs to parallel servers (the waiting time problem), and (3) finding balanced words. This paper discusses the similarities among these three problems and presents a general aggregation approach. Computational results show that using aggregation with stride scheduling both generates solutions that are more fair and reduces computational effort. The paper concludes with some ideas for applying the approach to related problems.
