Аннотация:Conventional studies on buffer-constrained flow-shop scheduling problems have considered applications with a limitation on the number of jobs that are allowed in the intermediate storage buffer before flowing to the nextmachine. The study in Lin et al. (Comput. Oper. Res. 36(4):1158–1175, 2008a) considered a two-machine flow-shop problem with “processing time-dependent” buffer constraints for multimedia applications. A “passive” prefetch model (the PP-problem), in which the download process is suspended unless the buffer is sufficient for keeping anincoming media object, was applied in Lin et al. (Comput. Oper. Res. 36(4):1158–1175, 2008a). This study further considers an “active” prefetch model (the AP-problem)that exploits the unoccupied buffer space by advancing the download of the incoming object by a computed maximal duration that possibly does not cause a buffer overflow. We obtain new complexity results for both problems.
