This paper considers Just-In-Time Job-Shop Scheduling, in which each activity has an earliness and a tardiness cost with respect to a due date. It proposes a constraint programmin...
A number of heuristics have been used in Learning Classifier Systems to initialise parameters of new rules, to adjust fitness of parent rules when they generate offspring, and ...
— Many scheduling algorithms search the space of possible solutions (schedules), but some instead search the space of permutations of the set of jobs, employing a greedy algorith...
A distributed problem solving approach to job shop scheduling is described in this paper. The approach views the system as an Organisation. Agents are assigned di erent roles and ...
We study algorithmic problems in multi-stage open shop processing systems that are centered around reachability and deadlock detection questions. We characterize safe and unsafe s...
