First published in June 1998, JOSH covers advances in scheduling research, such as the latest techniques, applications, theoretical issues and novel approaches to problems. The Journal is of direct relevance to the areas of Computer Science, Discrete Mathematics, Operational Research, Engineering, Management, Artificial Intelligence, Construction, Distribution, Manufacturing, Transport, Aerospace and Retail and Service Industries. These disciplines face complex scheduling needs and all stand to gain from advances in scheduling technology and understanding. Unique - the only peer reviewed Journal with a broad coverage of the techniques and applications of scheduling across differing disciplines. Essential reading - an invaluable resource for all academics and practitioners involved in scheduling and scheduling-related problems.     Instructions to Authors Four copies of the manuscript should be submitted to one of the Editors at the following addresses: Edmund Burke (Editor-in-Chief), Department of Computer Science, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK, e-mail: ekb@cs.nott.ac.uk; David Corne, Parallel Emergent & Distributed Architectures Laboratory, Department of Computer Science, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading RG6 6AY, UK, e-mail: D.W.Corne@reading.ac.uk; Michael Pinedo, Operations Management Area, Tisch Hall, 7th Floor, Stern School of Business, New York University, 40th West 4th Street, New York, NY 10012, USA, e-mail: mpinedo@stern.nyu.edu; Steef van de Velde, Department of Decision and Information Science, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, P.O.
