Heuristic for Scheduling Intrees on m Machines with Non-availability Constraints

This paper considers the problem of scheduling n tasks subject to intree-precedence constraints on m identical machines under non-availability constraints. The objective is to minimize the makespan. This problem is known to be NP-hard. We propose and test several heuristic variants based on different selection and dispatching rules.
