Abstract

We propose a polynomial time approximation scheme for schedu\-ling a set of dedicated tasks on a constant number $m$ of processors in order to minimize the sum of completion times $Pm| \mbox{fix}_j |\sum C_j$. In addition we give a polynomial time approximation scheme for the weighted preemptive problem with release dates, $Pm| \mbox{fix}_j,pmtn,r_j |\sum w_j C_j$.
