摘要

Consider a problem in which n jobs that are classified into k types arrive over time at their release times and are to be scheduled on a single machine so as to minimize the maximum flow time. The machine requires a setup taking s time units whenever it switches from processing jobs of one type to jobs of a different type. We consider the problem as an online problem where each job is only known to the scheduler as soon as it arrives and where the processing time of a job only becomes known upon its completion (non-clairvoyance). We are interested in the potential of simple "greedy-like" algorithms. We analyze a modification of the FIFO strategy and show its competitiveness to be Θ({the square root of}n), which is optimal for the considered class of algorithms. For k = 2 types it achieves a constant competitiveness. Our main insight is obtained by an analysis of the smoothed competitiveness. If processing times p_j are independently perturbed to p_j = (1 + X_j)_(p_j), we obtain a competitiveness of O(σ~(-2) log~2 n) when X_j is drawn from a uniform or a (truncated) normal distribution with standard deviation σ. The result proves that bad instances are fragile and "practically" one might expect a much better performance than given by the Ω({the square root of}n)-bound.
