Abstract (EN): Scheduling problems are widely recognized as important optimization problems.Fus, scheduling theory has become a fundamental area within the general Neld of combinatorial optimization. Multiprocessor and shop scheduling problems are known to be hard to solve optimally. Scheduling problems are naturally very varied, both in application domains and in featured constraints. To date, researchers have been working on scheduling problems derived from new applications such as scheduling problems in logistical airport operations management processes, decentralized systems and selNsh organizations, grid computing, and bioinformatics. Fese scheduling problems rePect real-life situations for including learning eQects or deteriorating jobs.
