Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by André Rossi (Universite
PSL).

The abstract follows.
We consider a variant of the simple assembly line balancing problem in
which the number of workstations and the cycle time are fixed, but some
tasks are subjected to uncertainty (processing times can increase). The
purpose is to maintain the schedule feasibility when the duration of
tasks increases. To achieve this, we consider two stability measures (to
be maximized): the stability radius, and the stability factor, that
correspond to different types of task duration increase. The scheduling
problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program, and this
formulation is strengthened by an upper bound and a heuristic. More
specifically, the allocation intervals of the tasks, that are based on
precedence constraints, are narrowed, which in turn are used to improve
the results of the heuristic and the mixed integer linear programming
formulation.

The next talk in our series will be:
Matthias Mnich (TU Hamburg) | May 29 | New Support Size Bounds for
Integer Programming, Applied to Makespan Minimization on Uniformly
Related Machines
