Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has received great interest in the recent decade, due
to its importance in critical application domains, such as self-driving cars, law, and …

Multiple jobs are processed simultaneously on a given batch processing machine in parallel
batching. The resulting batch is called a p-batch. Batching can lead to reduced production …

Job shop scheduling (JSS) is a process of optimizing the use of limited resources to improve
the production efficiency. JSS has a wide range of applications, such as order picking in the …

Abstract Systems and machines undergo various failure modes that result in machine health
degradation, so maintenance actions are required to restore them back to a state where they …

Dynamic flexible job-shop scheduling (DFJSS) is a challenging combinational optimization
problem that takes the dynamic environment into account. Genetic programming …

Both convergence and diversity are crucial to evolutionary many-objective optimization,
whereas most existing dominance relations show poor performance in balancing them, thus …

Artificial intelligence (AI) emphasises the creation of intelligent machines/systems that
function like humans. AI has been applied to many real-world applications. Machine …

Notwithstanding its disruptive potential, which has been the object of considerable debate,
Industry4. 0 (I4. 0) operationalisation still needs significant study. Specifically, scheduling is …

Automated program repair is the problem of automatically fixing bugs in programs in order to
significantly reduce the debugging costs and improve the software quality. To address this …

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 …
