A hyperheuristic is a high level procedure which searches over a space of low level heuristics rather than directly over the space of problem solutions. The sequence of low level h...
Hybrid Scheduling Problems (HSPs) combine temporal and finite-domain variables via hybrid constraints that dictate that specific bounds on temporal constraints rely on assignments...
We have recently introduced a hyper-heuristic genetic algorithm (hyper-GA) with an adaptive length chromosome which aims to evolve an ordering of low-level heuristics so as to find...
Ant Colony Optimization is an evolutionary method that has recently been applied to scheduling problems. We propose an ACO algorithm for the Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness...
In this paper we study a complex real world workforce scheduling problem. We apply constructive search and variable neighbourhood search (VNS) metaheuristics and enhance these meth...
