Recently there has been much progress on the design of approximation algorithms for a variety ofscheduling problems in which the goal is to minimize the average weighted completion time of the jobs scheduled. Many of these approximation algorithms have been inspired by polyhedral formulations of the scheduling problems and their use in computing optimal solutions to small instances. In this paper we demonstrate that this progress in the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for these problems also yields techniques with improved computational e cacy. Speci cally, we give a comprehensive experimental study of a number of these approximation algorithms for 1jrj jP wjCj, the problem of scheduling jobs with release dates on one machin...
