An Approach to the Solution of the Job Shop Scheduling Problem

Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems

This book offers fourteen select papers presented at the recent Asia-Pacific Symposia on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems. They illustrate the breadth of research in the field with applications ranging from business to medicine to network optimization.

A Book of Open Shop Scheduling

This book provides an in-depth presentation of algorithms for and complexity of open shop scheduling. Open shops allow operations of a job to be executed in any order, contrary to flow and job shops where the order is pre-specified. The author brings the field up to date with more emphasis on new and recent results, and connections with graph edge coloring and mathematical programming. The book explores applications to production and operations management, wireless network scheduling, and timetabling. The book is addressed to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in Operations Research, Operations Management, computer science and mathematics, who are developing and using mathematical approaches to applications in manufacturing, services and distributed wireless network scheduling.
