Abstract:

This paper deals with a two-machine open shop scheduling problem. The objective is to minimize the makespan. Jobs arrive over time. We study preemption-resume model, i.e., the currently processed job may be preempted at any moment in necessary and be resumed some time later. Let p 1, j and p 2, j denote the processing time of a job J j on the two machines M 1 and M 2, respectively. Bounded processing times mean that 1 ≤ p i, j  ≤ α (i = 1, 2) for each job J j , where α ≥ 1 is a constant number. We propose an optimal online algorithm with a competitive ratio 5a-14aequ1 .
