We consider the job shop scheduling problem unit−Jm, where each job is processed once on each of m given machines. Every job consists of a permutation of tasks for all machines....
Solution-Guided Multi-Point Constructive Search (SGMPCS) is a novel constructive search technique that performs a series of resource-limited tree searches where each search begins...
We provide several non-approximability results for deterministic scheduling problems whose objective is to minimize the total job completion time. Unless P = NP, none of the probl...

This study investigates an optimization-based heuristic for the Robotic Cell Problem. This problem arises in automated cells and is a complex ow shop problem with a single transpo...

In this paper, we develop an acyclic network of queues for the design of a dynamic flow shop, where each service station represents a machine. The orders arrive at the input stati...
