In timetable scheduling problems, examination subjects must be slotted to certain times that satisfy several of constraints. They are NP-completeness problems, which usually lead ...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
The problem of task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems has been studied for many years with many variations. We have developed a new hybrid approximation algorithm. The...
Most previous research into the job-shop scheduling problem has concentrated on finding a single optimal solution (e.g., makespan), even though the actual requirement of most prod...
Grid computing systems utilize distributive owned and geographically dispersed resources for providing a wide variety of services for various applications. It is possible that the...
