Abstract: Job-shop scheduling is a fundamental optimization issue in manufacturing. It involves determining the optimal allocation of many jobs among machines to increase makespan, throughput, and ...

Abstract: Driven by an unprecedented surge in freight transportation and city logistics, this paper tackles a practical variant of the famous Vehicle Routing Problem that jointly accounts for the ...

We use heuristics to solve computationally difficult problems where optimal solutions are too expensive to deploy, hard to manage, or otherwise inefficient. Our prior work, MetaOpt, shows many of the ...
