Evolutionary scheduling: a review.

Hart, Emma; Ross, Peter; Corne, Dave

Abstract

Early and seminal work which applied evolutionary computing methods to scheduling problems from 1985 onwards laid a strong and exciting foundation for the work which has been reported over the past decade or so. A survey of the current state-of-the-art was produced in 1999 for the European Network of Excellence on Evolutionary Computing EVONET¿this paper provides a more up-to-date overview of the area, reporting on current trends, achievements, and suggesting the way forward.
