Workload balancing

Workload balancing on identical parallel machines is concerned with the assignment of a set of jobs with positive integer processing times to a set of identical parallel machines so that a prespecified balancing criterion is optimized. A well-established criterion is the normalized sum of squared workload deviations (NSSWD) which has been proposed by Ho et al. (2009).
