The multiprocessor flow shop scheduling problem is a generalization of the ordinary flow shop scheduling problem. The problem consists of both assigning operations to machines and scheduling the operations assigned to the same machine. We review the literature on local search methods for flow shop and job shop scheduling and adapt them to the multiprocessor flow shop scheduling problem. Other local search approaches we consider are variable-depth search and simulated annealing. We show that tabu search and variable-depth search with a neighborhood originated by Nowicki and Smutnicki outperform the other algorithms. 相似文献

We deal with the application of ant colony optimization to group shop scheduling, which is a general shop scheduling problem that includes, among others, the open shop scheduling problem and the job shop scheduling problem as special cases. The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, we propose a neighborhood structure for this problem by extending the well-known neighborhood structure derived by Nowicki and Smutnicki for the job shop scheduling problem. Then, we develop an ant colony optimization approach, which uses a strong non-delay guidance for constructing solutions and which employs black-box local search procedures to improve the constructed solutions. We compare this algorithm to an adaptation of the tabu search by Nowicki and Smutnicki to group shop scheduling. Despite its general nature, our algorithm works particularly well when applied to open shop scheduling instances, where it improves the best known solutions for 15 of the 28 tested instances. Moreover, our algorithm is the first competitive ant colony optimization approach for job shop scheduling instances. 相似文献

We introduce a general transformation of parallel-machine time-dependent scheduling problems with critical lines. Using the transformation we define the class of equivalent time-dependent scheduling problems. We show that given an initial parallel-machine time-dependent scheduling problem with linear job processing times and the total weighted starting time criterion, the problem can be transformed in a unique way into another problem of this type in such a way that both these problems are mutually dual. We prove that a schedule is optimal for the initial problem if and only if the schedule constructed by this transformation is optimal for the transformed problem. The presented results explain remarkable similarities between different time-dependent scheduling problems and simplify the proofs of properties of such problems. 相似文献

We discuss a new approach for solving multiprocessor scheduling problems by using and improving results for guillotine pallet loading problem. We introduce a new class of schedules by analogy with the guillotine restriction for cutting stock problem and show that many well-known algorithms from classical scheduling theory construct schedules only from this class. We also consider two multiprocessor scheduling problems and prove that they can be solved in polynomial time. 相似文献

We introduce the multiple capacitated job shop scheduling problem as a generalization of the job shop scheduling problem. In this problem machines may process several operations simultaneously. We present an algorithm based on constraint satisfaction techniques to handle the problem effectively. The most important novel feature of our algorithm is the consistency checking. An empirical performance analysis is performed using a well-known set of instances of the job shop scheduling problem and a newly constructed set of instances of the multiple capacitated job shop scheduling problem. We show that our algorithm performs well for both sets of instances. 相似文献

Two-machine flowshop scheduling to minimize makespan is one of the most well-known classical scheduling problems. Johnson’s rule for solving this problem has been widely cited in the literature. We introduce in this paper the concept of composite job, which is an artificially constructed job with processing times such that it will incur the same amount of idle time on the second machine as that incurred by a chain of jobs in a given processing sequence. This concept due to Kurisu first appeared in 1976 to deal with the two-machine flowshop scheduling problem involving precedence constraints among the jobs. We show that this concept can be applied to reduce the computational time to solve some related scheduling problems. We also establish a link between solving the two-machine flowshop makespan minimization problem using Johnson’s rule and the relocation problem introduced by Kaplan. We present an intuitive interpretation of Johnson’s rule in the context of the relocation problem. 相似文献

This paper studies two-machine flowshop scheduling with batching and release time, whose objective is to minimize the makespan. We formulate the scheduling problem as a mixed integer programming model and show that it is a strongly NP-hard problem. We derive a lower bound and develop dynamic programming-based heuristic algorithms to solve the scheduling problem. Computational experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of the heuristic algorithms. The numerical results show that some of the heuristic algorithms can indeed find effective solutions for the scheduling problem. 相似文献

This paper introduces a new integrated model for the combined days-off and shift scheduling problem (the tour scheduling problem). This model generalizes the forward and backward constraints, previously introduced by Bechtold and Jacobs for the shift scheduling problem, to the tour scheduling problem. This results in a general and compact formulation that can handle several types of scheduling flexibility. We also provide a new proof of the correctness of forward and backward constraints based on Benders decomposition. The latter approach is interesting in itself because it can be used to solve the problem when extraordinary overlap of break windows or start-time bands is present. A discussion of model size for a set of hypothetical test problems is presented to show the merits of the new formulation. 相似文献

We present a methodology to automatically generate an online job scheduling method for a custom-made objective and real workloads.
The scheduling problem comprises independent parallel jobs and parallel identical machines and occurs in Massively Parallel
Processing systems and computational Grids. The system administrator defines the scheduling objective that may consider job
properties and priorities of users or user groups. Our scheduling method combines a Greedy scheduling algorithm with the dynamic
sorting of the waiting queue. This sorting algorithm uses a criterion that is modifiable by a set of parameters. Finding good
parameter settings for the sorting criterion is viewed as a nonlinear optimization problem which is solved with the help of
Evolution Strategies. We evaluate our scheduling method with real workload data and compare it to approximated optimal offline
solutions and to the online results of the standard EASY backfill algorithm. 相似文献

We consider the bandwidth scheduling problem that consists of selecting and scheduling calls from a list of available calls to be routed on a bandwidth-capacitated telecommunication network in order to maximize profit. Each accepted call should be routed within a permissible scheduling time window for a required duration. To author's knowledge, this study represents the first work on bandwidth scheduling with time windows. We present an integer programming formulation of the problem. We also propose a solution procedure based on the well-established Lagrangean relaxation technique. The results of extensive computational experiments over a wide range of problem structures indicate that the procedure is both efficient and effective. 相似文献

We consider general properties of isomorphic scheduling problems that constitute a new class of pairs of mutually related scheduling problems. Any such a pair is composed of a scheduling problem with fixed job processing times and its time-dependent counterpart with processing times that are proportional-linear functions of the job starting times. In order to introduce the class formally, first we formulate a generic scheduling problem with fixed job processing times and define isomorphic problems by a one-to-one transformation of instances of the generic problem into instances of time-dependent scheduling problems with proportional-linear job processing times. Next, we prove basic properties of isomorphic scheduling problems and show how to convert polynomial algorithms for scheduling problems with fixed job processing times into polynomial algorithms for proportional-linear counterparts of the original problems. Finally, we show how are related approximation algorithms for isomorphic problems. Applying the results, we establish new worst-case results for time-dependent parallel-machine scheduling problems and prove that many single- and dedicated-machine time-dependent scheduling problems with proportional-linear job processing times are polynomially solvable. 相似文献

Scheduling a sports league can be seen as a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. We study some variants of round
robin tournaments and analyze the relationship with the planar three-index assignment problem. The complexity of scheduling
a minimum cost round robin tournament is established by a reduction from the planar three-index assignment problem. Furthermore,
we introduce integer programming models. We pick up a popular idea and decompose the overall problem in order to obtain two
subproblems which can be solved sequentially. We show that the latter subproblem can be casted as a planar three-index assignment
problem. This makes existing solution techniques for the planar three-index assignment problem amenable to sports league scheduling. 相似文献

We investigate the problem of on-line scheduling open shops of two and three machines with an objective of minimizing the schedule makespan. We first propose a 1.848-competitive permutation algorithm for the non-preemptive scheduling problem of two machines and show that no permutation algorithm can be better than 1.754-competitive. Secondly, we develop a (27/19)-competitive algorithm for the preemptive scheduling problem of three machines, which is most competitive. 相似文献

Real-time scheduling problems confront two issues not addressed by traditional scheduling models, viz., parameter variability and the existence of complex relationships constraining the executions of jobs. Accordingly, modeling becomes crucial in the specification of scheduling problems in such systems. In this paper, we analyze scheduling algorithms in Partially Clairvoyant Real-time scheduling systems and present a new dual-based algorithm for the feasibility problem in the case of strict relative constraints. We also study the problem of online dispatching in Partially Clairvoyant systems and show that the complexity of dispatching is logarithmically related to the complexity of the schedulability problem. 相似文献

Scheduling for the Earth observation satellites (EOSs) imaging mission is a complicated combinatorial optimization problem, especially for the agile EOSs (AEOSs). The increasing observation requirements and orbiting satellites have exacerbated the scheduling complexity in recent years. In this paper, the single agile satellite, redundant observation targets scheduling problem is studied. We introduce the theory of complex networks and find similarities between AEOS redundant targets scheduling problem and the node centrality ranking problem. Then we model this problem as a complex network, regarding each node as a possible observation opportunity, and define two factors, node importance factor and target importance factor, to describe the node/target importance. Based on the two factors, we propose a fast approximate scheduling algorithm (FASA) to obtain the effective scheduling results. Simulation results indicate the FASA is quite efficient and with broad suitability. Our work is helpful in the EOSs and AEOSs scheduling problems by using complex network knowledge. 相似文献

We study scheduling as a means to address the increasing energy concerns in manufacturing enterprises. In particular, we consider a flow shop scheduling problem with a restriction on peak power consumption, in addition to the traditional time-based objectives. We investigate both mathematical programming and combinatorial approaches to this scheduling problem, and test our approaches with instances arising from the manufacturing of cast iron plates. 相似文献

The paper studies a train scheduling problem faced by railway infrastructure managers during real-time traffic control. When train operations are perturbed, a new conflict-free timetable of feasible arrival and departure times needs to be re-computed, such that the deviation from the original one is minimized. The problem can be viewed as a huge job shop scheduling problem with no-store constraints. We make use of a careful estimation of time separation among trains, and model the scheduling problem with an alternative graph formulation. We develop a branch and bound algorithm which includes implication rules enabling to speed up the computation. An experimental study, based on a bottleneck area of the Dutch rail network, shows that a truncated version of the algorithm provides proven optimal or near optimal solutions within short time limits. 相似文献

This paper studies the single-machine scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs and learning considerations. The objective is to minimize the makespan. We first show that the schedule produced by the largest growth rate rule is unbounded for our model, although it is an optimal solution for the scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs and no learning. We then consider three special cases of the problem, each corresponding to a specific practical scheduling scenario. Based on the derived optimal properties, we develop an optimal algorithm for each of these cases. Finally, we consider a relaxed model of the second special case, and present a heuristic and analyze its worst-case performance bound. 相似文献

In this paper we research the single machine stochastic JIT scheduling problem subject to the machine breakdowns for preemptive-resume and preemptive-repeat.The objective function of the problem is the sum of squared deviations of the job-expected completion times from the due date.For preemptive-resume,we show that the optimal sequence of the SSDE problem is V-shaped with respect to expected processing times.And a dynamic programming algorithm with the pseudopolynomial time complexity is given.We discuss the difference between the SSDE problem and the ESSD problem and show that the optimal solution of the SSDE problem is a good approximate optimal solution of the ESSD problem,and the optimal solution of the SSDE problem is an optimal solution of the ESSD problem under some conditions.For preemptive-repeat,the stochastic JIT scheduling problem has not been solved since the variances of the completion times cannot be computed.We replace the ESSD problem by the SSDE problem.We show that the optimal sequence of the SSDE problem is V-shaped with respect to the expected occupying times.And a dynamic programming algorithm with the pseudopolynomial time complexity is given.A new thought is advanced for the research of the preemptive-repeat stochastic JIT scheduling problem. 相似文献
