abstract = "A polynomial algorithm is proposed for two scheduling problems for which the complexity status was open. A set of jobs with unit processing times, release dates and outtree precedence relations has to be processed on parallel identical machines such that the total completion time $\sum C_j$ is minimized. It is shown that the problem can be solved in $O(n^2)$ time if no preemption is allowed. Furthermore, it is proved that allowing preemption does not reduce the optimal objective value, which verifies a conjecture of Baptiste and Timkovsky.",
