Exact and Heuristic Scheduling Algorithms

<p>This edited book presents new results in the area of the development of exact and heuristic scheduling algorithms. It contains eight articles accepted for publication for a Special Issue in the journal Algorithms. The book presents new algorithms e.g. for flow shop job shop and parallel machine scheduling problems. The particular articles address subjects such as a heuristic for the routing and scheduling problem with time windows applied to the automotive industry in Mexico a heuristic for the blocking job shop problem with tardiness minimization based on new neighborhood structures fast heuristics for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem or a new mathematical model for the period-aggregated resource leveling problem with variable job duration and several others.</p>
