Abstract
In this paper we consider the NP-hard 1| r |Σ T scheduling problem, suggesting a polynomial algorithm to find its approximate solution with the guaranteed absolute error. The algorithm employs a metric introduced in the parameter space. In addition, we study the possible application of such an approach to other scheduling problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
