A robustness measure is formulated to reflect the decision-maker\'s preference of risk aversion,and based on this robustness measure a robust scheduling model combining the expected makespan and the robustness measure is established in this paper.

Learning single-machine robust scheduling heuristics subject to stochastic breakdowns using genetic programming;

Robust scheduling in a Just-in-time single machine system with processing time uncertainty;

For batch chemical processes with uncertain processing time,a novel robust scheduling strategy is proposed.

Characteristics of strength robustness of laminated composites;

Considering this uncertainty,we propose a neighborhood-based robustness measure for scheduling which is inspired by advances in robust optimization of continuous functions,construct a multi satellites joint robust scheduling model,and put forward a method to estimate priority of observing task.

Comparison between the robustness margin in traditional sense and that in probabilistic sense is made in detail.

Research results and examples show that if we are willing to accept that stability demands are not met with very small probability, the robustness margin can often be magnified dramatically in probabilistic sense.

The degree of stability for the interval matrix N and the degree of robust stability for the interval dynamical system are introduced respectively,and new lemma(sufficient condition) is presented as well.
