This work proposes a parallel memetic algorithm applied to the total tardiness single machine scheduling problem. Classical models of parallel evolutionary algorithms and the gene...
Abstract. Overload checking, forbidden regions, edge finding, and notfirst/not-last detection are well-known propagation rules to prune the start times of activities which have t...
We will give a survey on results related to scheduling problems where machines are not continuously available for processing. We will deal with single and multi machine problems an...
We study single machine scheduling problems, where processing times of the jobs are exponential functions of their start times. For increasing functions, we prove strong NP-hardnes...
Given a sequencing of jobs on a single machine, each one with a weight, processing time, and a due date, the tardiness of a job is the time needed for its completion beyond its du...
