[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Tami Tamir (Reichman Uni) | June 21 | Scheduling with Machine-Dependent Priority Lists

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Tami Tamir (Reichman Uni).
The title is "Scheduling with Machine-Dependent Priority Lists".
The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, June 21 at 13:00 UTC.

The abstract follows.
We consider a natural, yet challenging variant of the parallel machine
scheduling problem in which each machine imposes a preferential order
over the jobs and schedules the jobs accordingly once assigned to it. We
study the setting in which a centralized authority assigns the jobs to
machines, as well as the associated non-cooperative game in which jobs
are controlled by selfish agents who independently choose which machine
to use. In the talk, I will define the model, highlight the differences
from other well-analyzed job-scheduling optimization problems and
coordinated mechanisms, and present some of our results for several
natural objectives (e.g., Makespan, lateness, total completion-time
minimization) As we show, having machine-dependent priority lists
dramatically affects both the computational complexity of the problem
and the equilibrium inefficiency. Joint work with Vipin Ravindran
Vijayalakshmi and Marc Schroder.

The next talk in our series will in September.
