This paper presents a feasibility study of evolutionary scheduling for gas pipeline operations. The problem is complex because of several constraints that must be taken into consi...
Many optimization techniques have been adopted for efficient job scheduling in grid computing, such as: genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and stochastic methods. Such techni...

The timetabling problem consists in scheduling a sequence of lectures between teachers and students in a prefixed period of time (typically a week), satisfying a set of constraints...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
