In the last four decades, scheduling problems have received much attention by researchers. Recently, the Just-in-Time concept has inspired a renewed interest in scheduling, especially among industry practitioners. Although a number of papers have reviewed this field, this paper presents an easy-to-use reference guide of static scheduling problems with complexity results for practitioners, students, and others. Every attempt has been made to be complete; however, this survey is not exhaustive. This paper includes both regular and non-regular measures of performance, separate sections on dual criteria and multicriteria problems, and a discussion of recent developments in heuristic search approaches to these problems.
