Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling with Release Dates
We consider the NP-hard problem of minimizing makespan for jobs on unrelated parallel machines with release dates in this research. A heuristic and a very effective particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm have been proposed to tackle the problem. Two lower bounds have been proposed to serve as...
