Hi,
this is my first post on forum. I studying math at university in Poland and I writring paper based on "Minimizing Total Completion Time on parallel Machines With Deadline Constraints" from 2003 . Not everything is understandable for me. There are proofs in article but not all are easy to follow. Some introduction will be good. I'm looking also some help, advise or tips. The math aspect of a paper is important.

Lukasz, any discussion about
Lukasz, any discussion about achieving completion of a specific effort consisting of subtasks that can be performed in parallel has to include:
- Critical path method.
- Critical path drag.
- Drag cost.
I would urge you to look up all three of these on the Internet (I'd start with Wikipedia). And I'd also recommend the following article:

Obviously, the article is aimed at a specific project management audience -- but I suspect you can adapt the ideas to a machine context. And since most academics are ignorant of the concept of critical path drag, they might find the info in your paper new and impressive.
Good luck.
Fraternally in project management,
