Abstract

In this chapter, we consider agent scheduling problems in which job processing times are variable. Processing time variable This means that the processing times, contrary to other chapters of the book, are not fixed and may change depending on such parameters as job starting times, job positions in schedule or the amount of resources allocated to jobs. Though problems of this type appear in many applications and non-fixed job processing times are studied in scheduling theory from over a few decades, agent scheduling problems with variable job processing times only recently started to be a new subject of research.
