Pinedo, Michael L. Scheduling. Theory, algorithms, and systems. 4th ed. (English) Zbl 1239.90002 New York, NY: Springer (ISBN 978-1-4614-1986-0/hbk; 978-1-4614-2361-4/ebook). xx, 673 p. (2012). This book is devoted to the theory and the applications of scheduling. The book is divided into three parts. The first deals with deterministic scheduling models, such as single machine, parallel machines, flow shop, job shop, open shop.The second part deals with stochastic scheduling models. It is assumed that processing times and other problem data are random and not known in advance. The relationship between stochastic scheduling and the theory of priority queues is established in this part.The third part deals with applications. A number of real world scheduling problems, the designs and implementations of some scheduling systems are described.All three parts of this new edition have been revamped and streamlined. The references have been made completely up-to-date. Reviewer: Svetlana A.
