This work proposes a parallel memetic algorithm applied to the total tardiness single machine scheduling problem. Classical models of parallel evolutionary algorithms and the gene...
We study the “inter-distance constraint”, also known as the global minimum distance constraint, that ensures that the distance between any pair of variables is at least equal ...
Job Scheduling on Computational Grids is gaining importance due to the need for efficient large-scale Grid-enabled applications. Among different optimization techniques addressed ...
The use of heuristics as a means to improve constraint solver performance has been researched widely. However, most work has been on problem-independentheuristics (e.g., variable ...
