Abstract

This paper studies an online scheduling problem with increasing subsequence serving constraint. Customers requests are released over-list, and the operator has to decide whether or not to accept current request and arrange it to a server immediately. Each server has to process an increasing subsequence requests. There are two online scheduling problems in this paper. The first problem is to find a schedule which occupies the minimal servers if the operator accepts all requests. The second problem is to find a schedule which accepts the maximal requests if the operator has just one server. In this paper, we propose two optimal algorithms, Double-Greedy Algorithm and Partition Algorithm, for the above two problems, respectively.
