Chapter Chapter 10 in Optimal Stochastic Scheduling, 2014, pp 347-394 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses some other scheduling problems and models that do not fall into the categories presented in Chapters 2–9. Section 10.1 considers the problem to minimize a random variable of performance measure under stochastic order, which produces stronger results than the common approach of minimizing the expected value of the measure. Section 10.2 introduces the concept of “team-work tasks”, in which each job is processed by a team of different processors working on designated components of the job, and derives a number of corresponding optimal scheduling policies.
