This paper investigates the permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) with the
objectives of minimizing the makespan and the total flowtime and proposes a hybrid …

This article studies a multiple-objective flow-shop modelling and scheduling problem by
multi-agent system (MAS) in a production context characterized by diversified, high-volume …

This paper proposes two improved multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) to
minimize makespan and maximum tardiness in the permutation and the blocking flow shop …

Drawing on the coevolution between populations, this paper proposes a dynamic multi-
population ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm to solve the blocking flow-shop …

As the complexity of optimisation problems increases methods which guarantee optimal
solutions place excessive demands on computation time and computer resources …

The flowshop is the most often used production system in the sector, and several efforts
have been made to improve its efficiency. The NEH (Nawaz, Enscore and Ham) heuristics …

In this paper, scheduling of robot cells that produce multiple object types in low volumes are
considered. The challenge is to maximize the number of objects produced in a given time …

This article presents a new optimization techniques based on Imperialistic Competitive
Algorithm to solve the flowshop scheduling problems, which objective is to minimize the …

Reconfigurable security protocols, with dynamic protocol configuration and flexible resource
allocation, have become a state-of-the-art technology to guarantee the security of space …

Planning is the task of putting together a sequence of actions that takes a start state to a goal
state. Since planning is a crucial part of human intelligence it is also a crucial part of artificial …
