Abstract— This paper presents a decentralized negotiation protocol for cooperative economic scheduling in a supply chain environment. For this purpose we designed autonomous agen...
When searching the space of possible plans for combined planning and scheduling problems we often reach a local maximum and must either backtrack or otherwise modify the plan to m...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
This paper presents three techniques for using an iterated local search algorithm to improve the performance of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for job shop scheduli...
This paper proposes a local search algorithm that makes use of a complex neighborhood relation based on a hybridization with a constructive heuristics for the classical resource-co...
