Just-In-Time Scheduling with Constraint Programming
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...

An Effective Chromosome Representation for Evolving Flexible Job Shop Schedules
As the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (or FJSP) is strongly NP-hard, using an evolutionary approach to find near-optimal solutions requires effective chromosome representatio...

Proactive Algorithms for Job Shop Scheduling with Probabilistic Durations
Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be ...

Combining simplex with niche-based evolutionary computation for job-shop scheduling
We propose a hybrid algorithm (called ALPINE) between Genetic Algorithm and Dantzig's Simplex method to approximate optimal solutions for the Flexible Job-Shop Problem. Local...

From fluid relaxations to practical algorithms for job shop scheduling: the makespan objective
We design an algorithm, called the fluid synchronization algorithm (FSA), for the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We round an optimal sol...
