Distributed Manufacturing Scheduling Using a Novel Cooperative System

摘要：

The problem of manufacturing scheduling is crucial but difficult due to its computational demands.Many generalpurpose meta-heuristics or multi-agent scheduling systems with social-or natural-inspired protocols for agent interacting or decision making have been widely adopted to provide optimal or suboptimal solutions.In this paper,more relevant rules are found from the known optimal solutions of a classic manufacturing scheduling problem and used to build a novel cooperative system,which can find optimal/near-optimal solutions within a reasonable computational time by employing those rules.
