The Shifting Bottleneck (SB) heuristic is among the most successful approximation methods for solving the Job Shop problem. It is essentially a machine based decomposition procedu...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
This paper describes an evolutionary search scheduling algorithm (ESSA) for the job shop scheduling problem (JSSP). If no specific knowledge of the problem is included in the EA t...
