Job shop scheduling (JSS) is an optimization problem with the goal of scheduling, on a number of machines, jobs with diverse orderings of processing on the machines. The objective is to minimize the ...

Flow shop scheduling (FSS) is a constrained case of JSS where every job uses every machine in the same order. The machines in FSS problems can often be seen as sequential operations to be executed on ...

Abstract: Automated manufacturing systems integrate sequential processing machines with material handling robots to transport jobs between stages, enhancing productivity and efficiency. Such systems ...

Abstract: Distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling is prevalent in industries such as integrated circuit manufacturing, ceramic frit production, glass fiber processing, and steelmaking. Machine ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...
