The paper considers scheduling on parallel machines under the constraint that some pairs of jobs cannot be processed concurrently. Each job has an associated weight, and all jobs have the same deadline. The objective is to maximise the total weight of on-time jobs. The problem is known to be strongly NP-hard in general. A polynomial-time algorithm for scheduling unit execution time jobs on two machines is proposed. The performance of a broad family of approximation algorithms for scheduling unit execution time jobs on more than two machines is analysed. For the case of arbitrary job processing times, two integer linear programming formulations are proposed and compared with two formulations known from the earlier literature. An iterated variable neighborhood search algorithm is also proposed and evaluated by means of computational experiments.
