Theory of Scheduling - (Dover Books on Computer Science) by Richard W Conway & William L Maxwell & Louis W Miller (Paperback)

This comprehensive text explores the mathematical models underlying the theory of scheduling, providing a detailed examination of three solution techniques: algebraic, probabilistic, and Monte Carlo simulation by computer.

Organized according to scheduling problem type, the book covers a wide range of topics including sequence problems, schedule evaluation measures, finite sequencing for a single machine, and further problems with one operation per job.

Additionally, it delves into flow-shop scheduling, general n/m job-shop problems, general network problems related to scheduling, selection disciplines in a single-server queuing system, single-server queuing systems with setup classes, multiple-server queuing models, and experimental investigation of the continuous job-shop process.

Whether you're a student or professional looking to gain a deeper understanding of scheduling theory, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the field.
