Scheduling with Time-Changing Effects and Rate-Modifying Activities
In scheduling theory, the models that have attracted considerable attention during the last two decades allow the processing times to be variable, i.e., to be subjected to various effects that make the actual processing time of a job dependent on its loca

Preface
Scheduling theory, born in the middle of the 1950s, has become an established area of operations research, with numerous widely quoted books and influential surveys that cover various stages of development in scheduling or addressing a particular range of its models. Journals are published, and regular conferences are held with scheduling as the main topic. Hundreds of researchers around the world work on further advancing this branch of knowledge, and thousands of students of all levels study its aspects either as a full course or as a part of more general courses related to operations research, operations management, industrial engineering, and logistics. As with most areas of ope
