Target analysis to improve a tabu search method for machine scheduling

الملخص EN

This paper explores the integrated Artificial Intelligence/Operations Research approach known as target analysis in application to tabu search.

Target analysis is designed to give heuristic and optimization procedures the ability to learn what rules are best for solving particular classes of problems.

We present the process involved in embedding the target analysis methodology in a tabu search method which is tailored for the solution of a class of single machine scheduling problems.
