Problem difficulty for tabu search in job-shop scheduling
Tabu search algorithms are among the most effective approaches for solving the job-shop scheduling problem (JSP). Yet, we have little understanding of why these algorithms work so well, and under what conditions. We develop a model of problem difficulty for tabu search in the JSP, borrowing from similar models developed for SAT and other NP-complete problems. We show that the mean distance betw...
متن کاملParallel tabu search for the cyclic job shop scheduling problem
In this paper, we consider a cyclic job shop problem, consisting of production of a certain set of elements at fixed intervals. Optimization of the process is reduced to a minimization of a cycle time, i.e. the time, after which the next batch of the same elements may be produced. We introduce a new parallel method for the cost function calculation. The parallelization is not trivial and cannot...
متن کاملNew Tabu Search Results for the Job Shop Scheduling Problem
In the classical job shop scheduling problem (JSSP), n jobs are processed to completion on m unrelated machines. Each job requires processing on each machine exactly once. For each job, technology constraints specify a complete, distinct routing which is fixed and known in advance. Processing times are sequence-independent, fixed, and known in advance. Each machine is continuously available fro...
متن کاملAn Improved Tabu Search Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem Trough Hybrid Solution Representations
Job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is an attractive field for researchers and production managers since it is a famous problem in many industries and a complex problem for researchers. Due to NP-hardness property of this problem, many meta-heuristics are developed to solve it. Solution representation (solution seed) is an important element for any meta-heuristic algorithm. Therefore, many resear...
متن کاملIntegrating Genetic Algorithm, Tabu Search Approach for Job Shop Scheduling
This paper presents a new algorithm based on integrating Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search methods to solve the Job Shop Scheduling problem. The idea of the proposed algorithm is derived from Genetic Algorithms. Most of the scheduling problems require either exponential time or space to generate an optimal answer. Job Shop scheduling (JSS) is the general scheduling problem and it is a NP-compl...
