Abstract: | The authors examine a single machine scheduling problem with random processing times and deadline. Given a set of independent jobs having specified initiation costs and terminal revenues, the objective is to select a subset of the jobs and sequence the selected jobs so that the expected profit is maximized. The job selection aspect considered here marks a clear departure from the pure sequencing focus found in the traditional scheduling literature. In this paper, the authors assume an exponentially distributed deadline and do not allow preemption. |
