A Memetic Algorithm for the Multi-objective Job Shop Flexible Scheduling Problem

In this paper, a new memetic algorithm (MA) is proposed for the muti-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem (MO-FJSP) with the objectives to minimize the makespan, total workload and critical workload. By using well-designed chromosome …

A Novel Chamber Scheduling Method in Etching Tools Using Adaptive Neural Networks

Chamber scheduling in etching tools is an important but difficult task in integrated circuit manufacturing. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems in etching tools, this paper presents a novel chamber scheduling …
