Description: The basic structure of the book has not been changed in this new edition.
The book still consists of three parts and a string of Appendixes. However,
several chapters have been extended in a meaningful way, covering additional
topics that have become recently of interest. Some of the new topics are more
methodological, whereas others represent new classes of models.
The more methodological aspects that are receiving more attention include
Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes (PTAS) and Constraint Programming.
These extensions involve new material in the regular chapters as well as
in the Appendixes. Since the field of online scheduling has received an enormous
amount of attention in recent years, a section focusing on online scheduling has
been added to the chapter on parallel machine scheduling.
