The Fourth International Workshop on Dynamic Scheduling Problems 10 November 2023

The Fourth International Workshop on Dynamic Scheduling Problems IWDSP 2023 was a complete success. Scientists from all over the world came together at the ZHAW to exchange their latest research results on dynamic scheduling.

Of particular note was the plenary lecture on computational complexity in scheduling under stochastic influences with scenarios by Prof. Leen Stougie (former group leader at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science, and professor of computer science at the Free University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands).

While the conference took place in the historical physics building in reminiscence of Prof. Albert Einstein, we can now publish our proceedings of the talks digitally. Furthermore, we are pleased that the renowned Journal of Scheduling will publish a special issue on our workshop.

The workshop was organized in Winterthur by Dr. Helmut Sedding, Operations Research and Operations Management, Institute for Data Analysis and Process Design, ZHAW School of Engineering under the scientific direction of Prof. Stanisław Gawiejnowicz, Algorithmics, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań, Poland and Prof. Gur Mosheiov, Operations Research and Operations Management, Charles I. Rosen Chair in Business Administration, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

We would also like to acknowledge the support of the scientific and local committees and the Swiss National Science Foundation with the SNSF Scientific Exchanges project no. 211197.
