Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Rubing Chen (Zhengzhou
University).
The title is "Single-machine hierarchical scheduling with release dates
and preemption to minimize the total completion time and a regular
criterion". The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, May 7 at
13:00 UTC.

The abstract follows.
In this talk, we consider the single-machine hierarchical scheduling
problems with release dates and preemption, where the primary criterion
is the total completion time and the secondary criterion is an
arbitrarily regular scheduling criterion, which is of either the
sum-form or the max-form. We aim to find a feasible preemptive schedule
that minimizes the secondary criterion, subject to the condition that
the primary criterion is minimized. We show that the variants of the
problems under study are polynomially solvable. To address these
problems, we establish some hereditary properties for the feasible
schedules and instances, and present a complete description of the
feasible schedules through some elaborately constructed job-permutations.

The next talk in our series will be:
