Most previous research into the job-shop scheduling problem has concentrated on finding a single optimal solution (e.g., makespan), even though the actual requirement of most prod...
In this paper, we develop and discuss several distance measures for permutation type representations of solutions of combinatorial optimisation problems. The problems discussed in...
The routing of a fleet of vehicles to service a set of customers is important in the field of distribution. Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) arise in many real-life applications wit...
Abstract-- Resource management systems (RMS) are an important component in heterogeneous computing (HC) systems. One of the jobs of an RMS is the mapping of arriving tasks onto the...
