Abstract

The problem of scheduling activities of several types is investigated under the constraint that at most, a fixed number of activities can be scheduled in any single time-slot. Any given activity type is associated with a service cost and an operating cost that increases linearly with the number of time-slots since the last service of this type. The problem is to find an optimal schedule that minimizes the long-run average cost per time-slot.
