A Mathematical Model for Periodic Scheduling Problems
Paolo Serafini, Walter Ukovich
Source abstract
A mathematical model is proposed for scheduling activities of periodic type. First a model is proposed for scheduling periodic events with particular time constraints. This problem, which could be considered the extension to periodic phenomena of ordinary scheduling with precedence constraints, is shown to be NP-complete. An algorithm for it of implicit enumeration type is designed based on network flow results, and its average complexity is discussed. Some extensions of the model are considered. The results of this first part serve as a basis in modelling periodic activities using resources. Several cases are considered. Finally some applications are presented for which the proposed model can be a useful tool.
