Abstract

We study the scheduling of jobs in a system of two interconnected service stations, called Q1 and Q2, on m(m ≥ 2) identical machines available in parallel, so that every machine can process any jobs in Q1 or Q2. Preemption is allowed. Under certain conditions on the arrival, service, and interconnection processes, we determine a scheduling policy that minimizes the expected makespan.
