Job Shop Scheduling with Routing Flexibility and Sequence-Dependent Setup Times [PDF]

This paper presents a meta-heuristic algorithm for solving a job shop scheduling problem involving both sequence dependent setup-times and the possibility of selecting alternative routes among the available machines. The proposed strategy is a variant of

Solving the Flexible Job Shop Problem on Multi-GPU

Procedia Computer Science, 2012
AbstractWe propose the new framework of the distributed tabu search metaheuristic designed to be executed using a multi-GPU cluster, i.e. cluster of nodes equipped with GPU computing units. We propose a hybrid single-walk parallelization of the tabu search, where hybridization consists in examining a number of solutions from a neighborhood concurrently

Recapitulating Endochondral Ossification for Bone Repair: From Development to Engineering Strategy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the developmental basis of endochondral ossification (ECO) and its applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). It first outlines the key biological processes and signaling pathways underlying ECO, then discusses biomaterial‐based engineering strategies derived from these principles, and finally highlights future directions for

Efficiency of the solution representations for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with makespan objective [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper we address the classical hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with makespan objective. As this problem is known to be NP-hard and a very common layout in real-life manufacturing scenarios, many studies have been proposed in the literature to

Biased Bi-Population Evolutionary Algorithm for Energy-Efficient Fuzzy Flexible Job Shop Scheduling with Deteriorating Jobs

Complex System Modeling and Simulation
There are many studies about flexible job shop scheduling problem with fuzzy processing time and deteriorating scheduling, but most scholars neglect the connection between them, which means the purpose of both models is to simulate a more realistic ...
