Job Scheduling on Computational Grids is gaining importance due to the need for efficient large-scale Grid-enabled applications. Among different optimization techniques addressed ...
This study investigates an optimization-based heuristic for the Robotic Cell Problem. This problem arises in automated cells and is a complex ow shop problem with a single transpo...

Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
Abstract. This paper describes a hybrid grouping genetic algorithm for a multiprocessor scheduling problem, where a list of tasks has to be scheduled on identical parallel processo...
Crossover operators that preserve common components can also preserve representation level constraints. Consequently, these constraints can be used to beneficially reduce the sea...
