Poznañ, Poland

Prof. Gawiejnowicz will give a talk on the subject:

Past, present and future of time-dependent scheduling

Abstract 

We present the general landscape of one of research domains in the modern scheduling theory called time-dependent scheduling. We begin the lecture with remarks on origins, development and relations of time-dependent scheduling to other domains in scheduling theory. Next, we introduce the main notions and proof techniques applied in time-dependent scheduling, followed by a brief discussion of the main results concerning single-, parallel- and dedicated-machine environments. We complete the lecture with a concise presentation of some recently obtained results and remarks on further development of time-dependent scheduling. 

Short Bio 

Stanislaw Gawiejnowicz is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznañ, Poland, where currently is the leader of Algorithmic Research Group (see https://algo.wmi.amu.edu.pl for details).  

He obtained Ph.D. in scheduling theory in 1997 and D.Sc. (Habilitation) in scheduling theory in 2009, both at the Poznañ University of Technology. In 2021 he received the Professor title from the President of Republic of Poland.   

His research is focused on scheduling problems with variable job processing times, analysis of time complexity of such scheduling problems and algorithms, and construction of exact, approximate and heuristic for dynamic scheduling algorithms. 

He is author or co-author of a few dozens of papers on scheduling problems with variable processing times, published in journals such as Annals of Operations Research, Applied Mathematics and Computation, Computers & Operations Research, Computers & Industrial Engineering, Discrete Applied Mathematics, European Journal of Operational Research, Journal of Scheduling, Journal of the Operational Research Society, among others. He is also the author of two monographs on time-dependent scheduling (Springer 2008, 2020) and co-author of a monograph on multiagent scheduling (Springer 2014).  

He organized 3 international conferences on dynamic scheduling problems (the 4th is planned, see https://iwdsp2023.wmi.amu.edu.pl for details), was supervisor of 3 completed Ph.D. theses and more than 20 defended M.S. theses.  

In free time, he likes to play a game of chess or go, to read a good book or to listen a piece of classic music.
