This is a tutorial survey of recent results in the area of multiprocessor scheduling.Computational complexity theory provides the framework in which these results are presented.They involve on one hand the development of new polynomial optimization algorithms, and on the other hand the application of the concept of NP-hardness as well as the analysis of approximation algorithms.
