The improved sweep metaheuristic for simulation optimization and application to job shop scheduling
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...

A hybrid shifting bottleneck-tabu search heuristic for the job shop total weighted tardiness problem
: In this paper, we study the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness. We propose a hybrid shifting bottleneck - tabu search (SB-T...

Stochastic Local Search for Multiprocessor Scheduling for Minimum Total Tardiness
The multi-processor total tardiness problem (MPTTP) is an ÆÈ-hard scheduling problem, in which the goal is to minimise the tardiness of a set of jobs that are processed on a numb...

Exploiting Decomposition in Constraint Optimization Problems
Decomposition is a powerful technique for reducing the size of a backtracking search tree. However, when solving constraint optimization problems (COP's) the standard techniqu...
