4. Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem
The parallel machines scheduling problem considered in this project is described as follows: a set N = (1,2, , n} of n jobs available at time zero is to be processed on m identical parallel machines. Each job iEN is to be processed without interruption on one of the m machines with processing time p,. Each machine can process only one job at a time and no job may be processed by more than one machine. Setup time, if any, is included in the processing time. Each job has cj and vvi,1
