Ant Colony Optimization is a swarm intelligence approach that has proved to be useful in
solving several classes of discrete and continuous optimization problems. One set, called …

Scheduling has an immense effect on various areas of human lives, be it though its
application in manufacturing and production industry, transportation, workforce allocation, or …

Parallel machine scheduling problems have many practical and industrial applications. In
this paper we study a generalization which is the unrelated parallel machine scheduling …

This paper deals with the Unrelated Parallel Machine scheduling problem with Setups and
Resources (UPMSR) with the objective of minimizing makespan. Processing times and …

The problem tackled in this paper is an unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem
with machine and sequence dependent setup times, machine eligibility and different …

This paper provides practitioners with new approaches for solving realistic scheduling
problems that consider additional resources, which can be implemented on expert and …

This paper investigates a multi-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with challenging
characteristics including lot sizing, calendar constraints and sequence-dependent setup …

In this paper, we study an important real-life scheduling problem that can be formulated as
an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times …

We study the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence and machine-
dependent setup times and the objective of makespan minimization. Two exact …
