Abstract

The relocation problem is a generalized resourceconstrained job scheduling problem in the aspect that the amount of resources returned at the completion of a job is not necessarily equal to that demanded. In this paper, we propose fundamental properties of the basic relocation problem. Also, we consider a variant RPPC into which precedence constraints are introduced. We show that RPPC is NP-complete, even if the precedence graphs are bi-partite. Furthermore, efficient algorithms are presented to solve some polynomially solvable subproblems.
