On scheduling models: An overview

This paper offers a summarized general overview on different scheduling models arisen along the years. It also tries to provide a short reference guide to build scheduling models. A collection of update bibliography on the topic is also included. The scheduling topics considered are deterministic versus stochastic scheduling, single versus multicriteria scheduling, without robot versus robotic scheduling, and cyclic versus noncyclic scheduling. Project management topics are strongly related to scheduling ones. Although the paper is focused on scheduling, for completeness, some basic references about project management are also included. We believe that this paper provides a guide which can be useful both to people who start to solve scheduling problems and also to more experimented people on scheduling.
