We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...
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...

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 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 consider the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m identical machines that operate in parallel. Each job has a controllable processing time. The fact that the jobs have...
