Abstract: Abstract The subject of this chapter is the allocation of jobs (or tasks) to processors (or machines). These terms should be understood in the widest possible sense: in the case of a doctor treating patients the doctor is the processor and the patients represent the tasks, in the case of a tax auditor the auditor is the processor (or the “machine”), while the individual cases are the tasks to be processed. This allocation is to be made so as to optimize some objective. We will discuss a number of these objectives below.
