Resolution of Disjunctive Problems

  • Chapter
Constraint-Based Scheduling

Abstract

Disjunctive problems are scheduling problems where all resources are machines (hence activities on the same machine cannot overlap in time, i.e., they are in disjunction). These problems have been widely studied in the literature. In this chapter we address three problems: (1) the Job-Shop Problem where operations of jobs have to be processed in a given order by some specified machines, (2) the Open-Shop Problem where operations of the same job cannot overlap in time but can be executed in any order and (3) the Preemptive Job-Shop Problem.
