Abstract. In this work we study an over-constrained scheduling problem where constraints cannot be relaxed. This problem originates from a local defense agency where activities to ...

Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
Evolving solutions rather than computing them certainly represents an unconventional programming approach. The general methodology of evolutionary computation has already been know...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) systems solve intricate problems by combining results generated independently by multiple computational models (the “experts”). Given an instance of a...
Batching jobs in a manufacturing system is a very common policy in most industries. Main reasons for batching are avoidance of setups and/or facilitation of material handling. Bat...
