This paper presents different methods for solving parallel machine scheduling problems with precedence constraints and setup times between the jobs. Limited discrepancy search met...
During the past ve years scientists discovered that modern UNIX workstations connected with ethernet and ber networks could provide enough computational performance to compete wit...
We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...
— 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...
When using a constructive search algorithm, solutions to scheduling problems such as the job shop and open shop scheduling problems are typically represented as permutations of the...
