In this paper, a parallel implementation of the modular simulated annealing algorithm for classical job-shop scheduling is presented. The implementation is for a multi agent system running on the distributed resource machine, which is a novel, scalab...

ATeams - teams of autonomous agents co-operating by sharing solutions through a common memory-have been proposed as a means of solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, the ATeam architecture is tested on the job-shop scheduling pro... Read More about Teams of autonomous agents for job-shop scheduling problems: An experimental study.
