Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of the popular heuristic methods for solving hard problems, such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP...
This paper studies a version of the job shop scheduling problem in which some operations have to be scheduled within non-relaxable time windows i.e. earliest latest possible start...
In this paper, we present an ant system algorithm variant designed to solve the job shop scheduling problem. The proposed approach is based on a recent biological study which showe...
