TL;DR: A classification scheme is provided, i.e. a description of the resource environment, the activity characteristics, and the objective function, respectively, which is compatible with machine scheduling and which allows to classify the most important models dealt with so far, and a unifying notation is proposed.
TL;DR: A general genetic algorithm to address a wide variety of sequencing and optimization problems including multiple machine scheduling, resource allocation, and the quadratic assignment problem is presented.
Abstract: In this paper we present a general genetic algorithm to address a wide variety of sequencing and optimization problems including multiple machine scheduling, resource allocation, and the quadratic assignment problem. When addressing such problems, genetic algorithms typically have difficulty maintaining feasibility from parent to offspring. This is overcome with a robust representation technique called random keys. Computational results are shown for multiple machine scheduling, resource allocation, and quadratic assignment problems.

TL;DR: The fundamental approaches for scheduling under uncertainty: reactive scheduling, stochastic project scheduling, fuzzy project Scheduling, robust (proactive) scheduling and sensitivity analysis are reviewed.
TL;DR: A genetic algorithm for the Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) integrates different strategies for generating the initial population, selecting the individuals for reproduction and reproducing new individuals to prove that genetic algorithms are effective for solving FJSP.
TL;DR: It is shown that the performance-ranking of priority rules does not differ for single-pass scheduling and sampling, that sampling improves the performance of single- pass scheduling significantly, and that the parallel method cannot be generally considered as superior.
