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 ...

Abstract: The optimization of flexible job shop scheduling is essential for improving manufacturing efficiency and performance in dynamic production environments. However, existing scheduling methods ...

Abstract: A whale hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed for the completion time of flexible job shop scheduling problem. First, equal-length two-stage coding is used to represent the flexible job shop ...
