This study investigates an NP-hard parallel machine scheduling problem, a critical challenge in manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics industries where efficient resource allocation is essential. The issue involves scheduling operations where each task requires an additional resource, with...

This paper investigates the relationship between resource allocation and ES-policies, which are a type of scheduling policies introduced for stochastic scheduling and which can be represented by a directed acyclic graph. We present a formal treatment of resource flows as are presentation of...

In this paper, I study dynamic and sequential fair division problems for players with dichotomous preferences. I have devised a systematic approach of designing efficient, envy-free, and strategy-proof mechanisms for generic problems. The mechanisms developed in this paper can accommodate common...

We consider a competitive scheduling setting with arbitrary number of agents each having the option to utilize two parallel resources to satisfy its demand: (i) an in-house resource dedicated to process only the tasks of each specific agent, and (ii) a flexible resource capable of processing all...

This paper surveys the relevant operations research literature on timetabling and resource allocation problems with a special attention paid to the transportation systems. The purpose of this review is to define the critical objectives, determine the key components and identify the key issues...

The well-known deterministic resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) involves the determination of a predictive schedule (baseline schedule or pre-schedule) of the project activities that satisfies the finish-start precedence relations and the renewable resource constraints under...
