Abstract

In this paper, we study the basic homogeneous m-machine scheduling problem where weakly dependent unit-time jobs have to be scheduled within the time windows between their release dates and due dates so that, for any subset of machines, the set of the time units at which at least one machine is busy, is in interval. We ?rst introduce the notions of pyramidal structure, k-hole, m-matching, preschedule, k-schedule and schedule for this problem. Then we provide a feasibility criteria for a preschedule. The key result of the paper is then to provide a structural necessary and su?cient condition for an instance of the problem to be feasible. We conclude by giving the directions of ongoing works and by bringing open questions related to di?erent variants of the basic non-idling m-machine scheduling problem.
