Scheduling concerns the temporal allocation of tasks to scarce resources with the objective of optimizing some performance measure subject to certain side constraints. Classical scheduling problems do not address the fact that in practice we usually need to pay a certain cost when using scarce resources. Moreover, since the allocation of the tasks to the scarce resources is usually carried out in the unpredictable future, scheduling problems have an intrinsic data uncertainty in practice. We give optimal algorithms, results on the computational complexity and approximation algorithms for deterministic, stochastic, and robust cost-aware scheduling problems that take these issues into account.
