M.Y. Kovalyov has published 111 scientific journal articles, a course of lectures “Theory of algorithms” (M.Y. Kovalyov, V.M. Kotov, V.V. Lepin, Belarusian State University Press, 2003, in Russian), a chapter in a book “Scheduling in computer and manufacturing systems” (Wydawnictwa Komunikacji i Lacznosci, Warszawa, Poland, 2006) and a monograph “Schedul­ing Theory. Group Technologies” (V.S.Tanaev, M.Y.Kovalyov, Y.M.Shafransky, Minsk, 1998, in Russian). The monograph studies batch scheduling problems. A unification of the existing terminology has been done, notation system has been developed. The problems have been classified with regard to the type of the processing systems. Analysis of their computational complexity has been provided. The most applicable and efficient solution methods have been described. The paper “Scheduling with batching: a review” (European Journal of Operational Research 120 (2000) 228-249) coauthored with C.N. Potts was selected for the list of 30 best papers published by European Journal of Operational Research in 1975-2005. M.Y. Kovalyov has been a guest editor for the special issues “Scheduling in batch processing industries and supply chains” of International Journal of Production Economics (2007) and “Combinatorics for modern manufacturing, logistics and supply chains” of European Journal of Operational Research (2008).
