This paper presents three techniques for using an iterated local search algorithm to improve the performance of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for job shop scheduli...
In this paper, a novel discrete differential evolution (DDE) algorithm is presented to solve the permutation flowhop scheduling problem with the makespan criterion. The DDE algori...
