During the past decades scheduling has been among the most studied op- mization problemsanditisstillanactiveareaofresearch!Schedulingappears in many areas of science, engineering and industry and takes di?erent forms depending on the restrictions and optimization criteria of the operating en- ronments [8]. For instance, in optimization and computer science, scheduling has been de?ned as “the allocation of tasks to resources over time in order to achieve optimality in one or more objective criteria in an e?cient way” and in production as “production schedule, i. e. , the planning of the production or the sequence of operations according to which jobs pass through machines ...

Reviews for Metaheuristics for Scheduling in Industrial and Manufacturing Applications
From the reviews: "This balanced collection of 13 chapters presents quality research, with each chapter describing an industrial or manufacturing case related to scheduling. … The use of heuristics is very appropriate for most scheduling problems … . The problems, methods, and approaches presented in the book are very diverse, offering a good starting point for solving most ... Read more
