Scheduling and multicriteria optimisation theory have been subject, separately, to numerous
studies. Since the last twenty years, multicriteria scheduling problems have been subject to …

Obtaining an optimal solution for a permutation flowshop scheduling problem with the total
flowtime criterion in a reasonable computational timeframe using traditional approaches and …

This paper aims at presenting a compilation of state-of art references in which dynamic
programming (DP) and its variants have been applied as a solution methods for the …

In this work we propose an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) as a new tool aiming at
minimizing the total flowtime in permutation flowshop scheduling problems. A variable …

This article is a comprehensive review of Branch-and-Bound algorithms for solving flowshop
scheduling problems, from the early works of Ignall and Schrage (1965) and Brown and …

In this paper we study the NP-hard scheduling problem of minimizing total completion time
in a two-machine flow shop. Five known lower bounds are discussed and two new ones are …

In this paper, we advance the state of the art for solving the Permutation Flowshop
Scheduling Problem with total flowtime minimization. For this purpose, we propose a Biased …
