1. Introduction
The master-slave paradigm involves two sets of processors, the master processors and the slave processors. The layout of the processors is a three-stage flowshop (see [1-3] for a definition of a flowshop as well as for elementary terminology concerning scheduling), with the first and third stage consisting of master processors while the second stage consists of slave processors. A set of jobs each consisting of three tasks is to be processed by the three-stage master-slave system. The first task of each job is referred to as preprocessing master task, the second is called slave task and the third is referred to as postprocessing master task. For the ...
