Tabu (or taboo) search (TS) has been successfully applied to combinatorial optimization but
it has not been used for global optimization of many continuous functions including phase …

In this paper, a heuristic is proposed for solving the problem of scheduling in a two-stage
flowshop with parallel unrelated machines and additional renewable resources at the first …

In this paper, we consider an identical parallel machine scheduling problem with a single
additional resource. The processing rate of a job is defined by a linear resource …

Discrete-continuous project scheduling problems with positive discounted cash flows and
the maximization of the NPV are considered. We deal with a class of these problems with an …

This paper presents a novel neural network learning algorithm, the tabu-based neural
network learning algorithm (TBBP). In our work, the TBBP mainly use the tabu search (TS) to …

A problem of scheduling jobs on parallel, identical machines under an additional continuous
resource to minimize the makespan is considered. Jobs are non‐preemtable and …

Problems of scheduling non-preemptable, independent jobs on parallel identical machines
under an additional continuous renewable resource to minimize the makespan are …

This paper deals with the problem of preemptive scheduling in a two-stage flowshop with
parallel unrelated machines at the first stage and a single machine at the second stage. At …

One major practical problem when applying traditional metaheuristics seems to be their
strong dependency on parameter tuning. This issue is frequently pointed out as a major …

A discrete–continuous problem of non-preemptive task scheduling on identical parallel
processors is considered. Tasks are described by means of a dynamic model, in which the …
