Simulated Annealing-Based Ant Colony Algorithm for Tugboat Scheduling Optimization

As the “first service station” for ships in the whole port logistics system, the tugboat operation system is one of the most important systems in port logistics. This paper formulated the tugboat scheduling problem as a multiprocessor task scheduling problem (MTSP) after analyzing the characteristic...
