SIMULTANEOUS-OPTIMIZATION OF CHEMICAL FLOWSHOP SEQUENCING AND TOPOLOGY USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS

Scheduling heuristics are of considerable practical importance and, accordingly, have been studied using a variety of methods. Such heuristics commonly assume a flowshop of fixed serial topology, but this assumption seriously restricts the theoretical efficiency of the flowshop. In this paper we sho...
