About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive text explores the mathematical models underlying the theory of scheduling. Organized according to scheduling problem type, it examines 3 solution techniques: algebraic, probabilistic, and Monte Carlo simulation by computer. Topics include problems of sequence, measures for schedule evaluation, finite sequencing for a single machine, much more. 1967 edition.

Synopsis

A textbook for a one-semester graduate course in operations research. The arrangement is primarily according to the type of scheduling problem rather than the technique of its solution. Some of the solutions require students to have a background in advanced probability. Reprinted from a 1967 publication by Addison-Wesley. Annotation (c) Book News,
