De la contraportada

This new edition of thewell-established text Scheduling:Theory, Algorithms, and Systems provides an up-to-date coverageof important theoretical models in the scheduling literature aswell as important scheduling problems that appear in the realworld.  The accompanying website includes supplementary materialin the form of slide-shows from industry as well as movies that show actualimplementations of scheduling systems.

The main structure of the book, as perprevious editions, consists of three parts.  The first partfocuses on deterministic scheduling and the related combinatorialproblems.  The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models; inthis part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data arerandom and not known in advance.   The third part deals withscheduling in practice; it covers heuristics that are popular withpractitioners and discusses system design and implementation issues.  All three parts of this new edition havebeen revamped, streamlined, and extended.  The references have beenmade completely up-to-date. 

Theoreticians and practitionersalike will find this book of interest.  Graduate students inoperations management, operations research, industrial engineering, andcomputer science will find the book an accessible and invaluableresource.  Scheduling: Theory,Algorithms, and Systems will serve as an essential reference forprofessionals working on scheduling problems inmanufacturing, services, and other environments.

"This well-established text covers both thetheory and practice of scheduling. The book begins with motivating examples andthe penultimate chapter discusses some commercial scheduling systems andexamples of their implementations." (Mathematical Reviews, 2009)
