Solving fuzzy job-shop scheduling problem by a hybrid PSO algorithm
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 2012)
This paper proposes a hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for solving the job-shop scheduling problem with fuzzy processing times. The objective is to minimize the maximum fuzzy completion time, i.e., the ...
A differential evolution algorithm for the no-idle flowshop scheduling problem with total tardiness criterion
(International Journal of Production Research, 2011)
In this paper, we investigate the use of a continuous algorithm for the no-idle permutation flowshop scheduling (NIPFS) problem with tardiness criterion. For this purpose, a differential evolution algorithm with variable ...
A discrete artificial bee colony algorithm for the lot-streaming flow shop scheduling problem
