This book was released on 2005-03-21 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2005, held in Lausanne, Switzerland in March/April 2005. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. The papers cover evolutionary algorithms as well as related approaches like scatter search, simulated annealing, ant colony optimization, immune algorithms, variable neighborhood search, hyperheuristics, and estimation of distribution algorithms. The papers deal with representations, analysis of operators and fitness landscapes, and comparison algorithms. Among the combinatorial optimization problems studied are graph coloring, quadratic assignment, knapsack, graph matching, packing, scheduling, timetabling, lot-sizing, and the traveling salesman problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents new results in the area of the development of exact and heuristic scheduling algorithms. It contains eight articles accepted for publication for a Special Issue in the journal Algorithms. The book presents new algorithms, e.g., for flow shop, job shop, and parallel machine scheduling problems. The particular articles address subjects such as a heuristic for the routing and scheduling problem with time windows, applied to the automotive industry in Mexico, a heuristic for the blocking job shop problem with tardiness minimization based on new neighborhood structures, fast heuristics for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem or a new mathematical model for the period-aggregated resource leveling problem with variable job duration, and several others.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding exact solutions to many combinatorial optimization problems in busi ness, engineering, and science still poses a real challenge, despite the impact of recent advances in mathematical programming and computer technology. New fields of applications, such as computational biology, electronic commerce, and supply chain management, bring new challenges and needs for algorithms and optimization techniques. Metaheuristics are master procedures that guide and modify the operations of subordinate heuristics, to produce improved approx imate solutions to hard optimization problems with respect to more simple algorithms. They also provide fast and robust tools, producing high-quality solutions in reasonable computation times. The field of metaheuristics has been fast evolving in recent years. Tech niques such as simulated annealing, tabu search, genetic algorithms, scatter search, greedy randomized adaptive search, variable neighborhood search, ant systems, and their hybrids are currently among the most efficient and robust optimization strategies to find high-quality solutions to many real-life optimiza tion problems. A very large nmnber of successful applications of metaheuristics are reported in the literature and spread throughout many books, journals, and conference proceedings. A series of international conferences entirely devoted to the theory, applications, and computational developments in metaheuristics has been attracting an increasing number of participants, from universities and the industry.
Download or read book Heuristics for Job shop Scheduling written by Kenneth Alan Pasch and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two methods of obtaining approximate solutions to the classic General Job-Shop Scheduling Problem are investigated. The first method is iterative. A sampling of the solution space is used to decide which of a collection of space pruning constraints are consistent with 'good' schedules. The selected space pruning constraints are then used to reduce the search space and the sampling is repeated. This approach can be used either to verify whether some set of space pruning constraints can prune with discrimination or to generate solutions directly. Schedules can be represented as trajectories through a cartesian space. Under the objective criteria of Minimum Maximum Lateness a family of 'good' schedules (trajectories) are geometric neighbors (reside within some 'tube') in this space. This second method of generating solutions takes advantage of this adjacency by pruning the space from the outside in thus converging gradually upon this 'tube.' On the average this method significantly outperforms an array of the Priority Dispatch Rules when the objective criteria is that of Minimum Maximum Lateness. It also compared favorably with a recent iterative relaxation procedure. (KR).

Download or read book Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Using Priority Heuristics and Genetic Algorithm written by Hamid Ghaani Farashahi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, flexible job shop scheduling problem has been studied. The aim of this research is to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). The job shop scheduling is very common in practice and uniform machines (parallel machines with different speeds) have been used in job shop environment for flexibility. Flexible job shop scheduling consists of multistage which in each stage there are one or several parallel machines with different speeds. Each job crosses all these stages based on distinct routing which is fixed and known in advance. The relevant operation is processed by only one of the uniform machines in that stage. Due to Non-deterministic Polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) nature of problem, in order to generate good solution in a reasonable computation time two solution methodologies are proposed. In the first method, five heuristic procedures based on priority rules have been presented and the performances of proposed heuristics have been compared with each other in order to minimize the makespan. Experimental results over all instances indicated that the most work remaining rule with earliest completion time rule (MWKR-ECT) and earliest completion time rule (ECT) achieved the minimum of makespan up to 65% and 34% of all instances in comparison with other proposed heuristic procedures. In the next method, a genetic algorithm has been developed. It has been shown that proposed genetic algorithm with a reinforced initial population (GA2) has better efficiency compared to a proposed genetic algorithm with fully random initial population (GA0). Then, the validation of proposed genetic algorithm with reinforced initial population (GA2) has been checked with random keys genetic algorithm (RKGA). The results of computations showed that an improved rate of 27% has been achieved according to average of loss.
Download or read book Heuristics Metaheuristics and Approximate Methods in Planning and Scheduling written by Ghaith Rabadi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this book is limited to heuristics, metaheuristics, and approximate methods and algorithms as applied to planning and scheduling problems. While it is not possible to give a comprehensive treatment of this topic in one book, the aim of this work is to provide the reader with a diverse set of planning and scheduling problems and different heuristic approaches to solve them. The problems range from traditional single stage and parallel machine problems to more modern settings such as robotic cells and flexible job shop networks. Furthermore, some chapters deal with deterministic problems while some others treat stochastic versions of the problems. Unlike most of the literature that deals with planning and scheduling problems in the manufacturing and production environments, in this book the environments were extended to nontraditional applications such as spatial scheduling (optimizing space over time), runway scheduling, and surgical scheduling. The solution methods used in the different chapters of the book also spread from well-established heuristics and metaheuristics such as Genetic Algorithms and Ant Colony Optimization to more recent ones such as Meta-RaPS.
