An engineer elegantly solves a basic transit scheduling problem, potentially meaning shorter waits for riders. The question: how much slack should be schedulers of a bus or tram line add to keep ...

In this paper we introduce two general techniques for the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for NP-hard scheduling problems in which the objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the ...
