From Computerworld Australia comes news that researchers at the University of Sydney have developed (and, sadly, patented) an algorithm that its inventors say will schedule jobs in a way that reduces ...

An integrated optimization production planning and scheduling based on alternant iterative genetic algorithm is proposed here. The operation constraints to ensure batch production successively are ...

The "branch-and-bound" algorithm for the exact solution of a three-machine scheduling problem proposed by Lomnicki has been generalized to the case of an arbitrary number of machines (under the ...
