We assume that each server can work on only one job at a time, that several servers can work together on a single job, and that the travel times between stations are negligible. Under various server collaboration schemes, we characterize the optimal server assignment policy for these systems.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EJoint work with Sigrun Andradottir and Douglas G.
