Solving Job Shop Scheduling Problem Using an Ant Colony Algorithm

Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of an ant colony algorithm (ACA), applied to a combinatorial optimization problem called job shop scheduling problem (JSSP). At first, a rather good solution is generated in negligible computation time and then, the trail intensities areinitiated based on this solution. Moreover, the trail intensities are limited between lower and upper bounds which change dynamically in a new manner. It is noteworthy that in initializing, updating as well as limiting the trail intensiti… Show more

“…For the sake of verifying the feasibility and effectiveness of the improved GA-TS algorithm, the genetic algorithm and particle swarm algorithm that have been widely used in solving vehicle scheduling problems were adopted to solve this problem [43]. In addition, considering that different customer sizes have a great impact on the solution performance of the algorithm, in order to verify that the genetic tabu algorithm proposed in this study can effectively solve the number of customer nodes of different sizes, references [56,57] divide customers into three sizes, 30, 60, and 90, and run each algorithm 30 times, respectively, to obtain the optimal solutions of each algorithm, so as to verify the solution performance of the algorithm under the conditions of customers of different sizes. The parameter settings of each algorithm are shown in Table 6, where P is the population size, G is the number of iterations, CP is the crossover rate, MP is the mutation rate, TG is the tabu algebra, CS is the candidate set, TL is the tabu length, W is the inertia weight, and C is the acceleration factor.…”

“…Historically, several algorithms are proposed in literature to solve the job shop scheduling problem by optimizing the makespan such as: branch and bound (BB) [3], simulated annealing (SA) [4], Tabu search (TS) [5] [6], genetic algorithms (GA) [7][8] [9],neural networks (NN) [10],ant colony optimization (ACO) [11],Particle swarm optimization (PSO) [12], Bee colony optimization (BCO) [13] and firefly algorithm(FA) [14]. Additionally, some researchers have developed an hybrid optimization strategy for JSSP such as parallel GRASP with path-relinking [15] and new hybrid genetic algorithm [16].…”
