A branch and bound algorithm for the response time variability problem

Abstract: The response time variability problem (RTVP) is an NP-hard scheduling problem that has been studied intensively recently and has a wide range of real-world applications in mixed-model assembly lines, multithreaded computer systems, network environments and others. The RTVP arises whenever products, clients or jobs need to be sequenced in order to minimise the variability in the time between two successive points at which they receive the necessary resources. To date, the best exact method for solving this prob… Show more

“…A linear programming formulation for the problem is discussed and several improvements for it are introduced. In subsequent papers, García-Villoria et al (2013) present a specially tailored branch-and-bound algorithm and Corominas et al (2012) propose various heuristics for the same problem. Although the essential task of scheduling service periods is the same, the objectives and/or constraints of the problems addressed in the references above dier from the problems faced in this thesis, especially concerning the maximum duration constraint, rendering the developed solution approaches no longer applicable.…”
