Abstract

This paper deals with single machine scheduling problems with stochastic precedence relations (so calledGERT networks). Until now most investigations on such problems, dealt with algorithms running in polynomial time. On the other hand, for scheduling problems with deterministic precedence relations exist a lot of results about time complexity. Therefore, the object of this paper is to consider time complexity of scheduling problems with stochastic precedence constraints and to describe the boundary between theNP-hard problems and those which can be solved in polynomial time.
