This Paper proposes a two-step binary linear programming formulation for task scheduling
of a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites and demonstrates its applicability and …

This research is motivated by a scheduling problem found in the diffusion and oxidation
areas of semiconductor wafer fabrication, where the machines can be modeled as parallel …

This paper addresses a complex parallel machine scheduling problem with jobs divided into
operations and operations grouped in families. Non-anticipatory family setup times are held …

The flowshop scheduling problem with blocking in-process is addressed in this paper. In this
environment, there are no buffers between successive machines; therefore intermediate …

This paper investigates an identical parallel machine scheduling problem with flexible
maintenance and job release times and attempts to optimize two objectives: the …

In this paper, we consider a single-machine scheduling problem (P) inspired from
manufacturing instances. A release date, a deadline, and a regular (ie, non-decreasing) cost …

This study addresses the problem of minimizing the total weighted tardiness on a single-
machine with a position-based learning effect. Several dominance properties are …

In this paper, we study a planning and scheduling problem for unrelated parallel machines.
There are n jobs that have to be assigned and sequenced on m unrelated parallel …

In this paper, a genetic algorithm with injecting artificial chromosomes is developed to solve
the single machine scheduling problems. Artificial chromosomes are generated according to …

Abstract Machine-based decomposition of total weighted tardiness job shops is known to be
considerably more complicated than in the makespan case, mainly due to the structure of …
