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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper considers the problem of scheduling n jobs, each having a processing time, a due date and a weight, on a single machine to minimize ...

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 ...
