This paper is concerned with scheduling a number of jobs on multiple identical parallel machines to minimise job Completion Time Variance (CTV), which is a performance measure that emphasises providing uniform service to jobs. CTV minimisation is closely related to common due date problems,...

When a batch of jobs are waiting for services from a machine or resource, sometimes it is desirable to minimise the variance of job waiting times Waiting Time Variance (WTV) for service stability to all the jobs in the batch so that the jobs have about the same waiting times. Many factors,...
