On nonpreemptive strategies in stochastic scheduling

Author

  • K. D. Glazebrook

Abstract

It is shown that there is an optimal strategy for a class of stochastic scheduling problems which is nonpreemptive. The results which yield this conclusion are generalizations of previous ones due to Glazebrook and Gittins. These new results also lead to an evaluation of the performance of nonpreemptive strategies in a large class of problems of practical interest.
