 TR#: CS-2000-08 Class: CS Title: Resource-Constrained Scheduling and Graph Multicoloring with Min-sum Objectives Authors: Magnus M. Halldorsson, Guy Kortarz and Hadas Shachnai PDF CS-2000-08.pdf Abstract: In the {\em sum multicoloring} problem we are given a graph and the number of colors required by each vertex. We need to find a multicoloring which minimizes the sum of the largest colors assigned to the vertices; it reduces to the known {\em sum coloring} problem when each vertex requires exactly one color. The sum multicoloring problem has many applications, in scheduling, resource allocation, copiler design and VLSI routing. We survey the results published on the sum multicoloring problem, and describe some recent developments. We then discuss several interesting avenues for future study.
