How the Landscape of Random Job Shop Scheduling Instances Depends on the Ratio of Jobs to Machines
We characterize the search landscape of random instances of the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Specifically, we investigate how the expected values of (1) backbone size, (2) d...

Towards improved dispatching rules for complex shop floor scenarios: a genetic programming approach
Developing dispatching rules for manufacturing systems is a tedious process, which is time- and cost-consuming. Since there is no good general rule for different scenarios and ob...
