Abstract

Scheduling jobs with pairwise conflicts is modeled by the graph multi-coloring problem. It occurs in two versions: preemptive and non-preemptive. We study these problems on trees under the sum-of- completion-times objective. In particular, we give a quadratic algorithm for the non-preemptive case, and a faster algorithm in the case that all job lengths are short, while we present a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the preemptive case.
