求解可重入并行机调度的混合禁忌搜索算法

为解决带有一台远程服务设备的可重入并行机调度问题,设计了一种混合禁忌搜索算法。针对传统禁忌搜索算法只从单起始点搜索、容易陷入局部最优等缺点,混合禁忌搜索算法设计了一种Restart策略。当传统禁忌搜索算法陷入局部最优时,用Restart策略重新产生初始解以进行禁忌搜索,将传统的禁忌搜索算法从单起始点搜索改进成多起始点搜索。数值实验中将混合禁忌搜索算法与启发式算法CS相比,结果表明该算法具有较高的求解质量,且其计算时间是可接受的。     

The strategies and parameters of tabu search for job-shop scheduling

This paper presents a tabu search approach for the job-shop scheduling problem. Although the problem is NP-hard, satisfactory solutions have been obtained recently by tabu search. However, tabu search has a problem-specific and parametric structure. Therefore, in the paper, we focussed on the tabu search strategies and parameters such as initial solution, neighborhood structure, tabu list, aspiration criterion, elite solutions list, intensification, diversification and the number of iteration. In order to compare some neighborhood strategies and tabu list length methods, a computational study is done on the benchmark problems.     

On the sensitivity of reactive tabu search to its meta-parameters

In this paper, we assess the sensitivity of reactive tabu search to its meta-parameters. Based on a thorough experimental analysis of reactive tabu search applications to the quadratic assignment and the maximum clique problem, we show that its performance is relatively insensitive to its meta-parameters. This is particularly evident when compared to the sensitivity of tabu search to its parameters: tabu search is rather penalized if used with sub-optimal parameter settings. Reactive tabu search does not strongly pay its high parameter robustness in terms of performance, although it does not improve the peak performance of tabu search.     

Improved Tabu search heuristics for the dynamic space allocation problem

The dynamic space allocation problem (DSAP) presented in this paper considers the task of assigning items (resources) to locations during a multi-period planning horizon such that the cost of rearranging the items is minimized. Three tabu search heuristics are presented for this problem. The first heuristic is a simple basic tabu search heuristic. The second heuristic adds diversification and intensification strategies to the first, and the third heuristic is a probabilistic tabu search heuristic. To test the performances of the heuristics, a set of test problems from the literature is used in the analysis. The results show that the tabu search heuristics are efficient techniques for solving the DSAP. More importantly, the proposed tabu search heuristic with diversification/intensification strategies found new best solutions using less computation time for one-half of all the test problems.

Fine-tuning a Tabu Search Algorithm with Statistical Tests

Tabu Search is a metaheuristic that has proven to be very effective for solving various types of combinatorial optimization problems. To achieve the best results with a tabu search algorithm, significant benefits can sometimes be gained by determining preferred values for certain search parameters such as tabu tenures, move selection probabilities, the timing and structure of elite solution recovery for intensification, etc. In this paper, we present and implement some new ideas for fine-tuning a tabu search algorithm using statistical tests. Although the focus of this work is to improve a particular tabu search algorithm developed for solving a telecommunications network design problem, the implications are quite general. The same ideas and procedures can easily be adapted and applied to other tabu search algorithms as well.

Artificial intelligence search methods for multi-machine two-stage scheduling with due date penalty,inventory, and machining costs

This paper evaluates artificial intelligence search methods for multi-machine two-stage scheduling problems with due date penalty, inventory, and machining costs. We compare four search methods: tabu search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, and neighborhood search. Computational results show that the tabu search performs best in terms of solution quality. The tabu search also requires much less computational time than the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing. As expected, the neighborhood search needs the smallest computational time, but gives the worst solution quality. To further improve the solution quality and computational time, this paper proposes a two-phase tabu search. The two-phase tabu search sequentially addresses two aspects of sequencing for the same problem, order- and component-based sequencing. The order-based tabu search identifies a sequence for customers’ orders. Starting from the sequence identified for customers’ orders, the component-based tabu search fine-tunes the sequence for components produced at the fabrication stage. The results show that the two-phase tabu search is better in solution quality and computational time than the one-phase tabu search. The difference in solution quality is more pronounced at the early stage of the search.Scope and purposeMost manufacturing firms have some form of separate fabrication and assembly stages. Raw materials are transformed into components at the fabrication stage and the components are then assembled into finished products at the assembly stage. The components and assembly items are typically routed in batch quantities through several machines/work centers in a predetermined order before the finished products are delivered to customers.In this study, we model fabrication and assembly work centers as multi-machine two-stage manufacturing systems where a given machine is used to assemble/produce at least one component/product. The scheduling problem considered in this study involves a scheduling decision that achieves three objectives concurrently: (1) meeting customers’ due dates, (2) minimizing inventory cost, and (3) minimizing machining cost. Each order is an indivisible scheduling element that needs to be delivered to customers on the due date. Each order triggers successive production events from upstream to downstream according to the bill-of-material structure between components and end products.The objective of this paper are three-fold: (1) to present a solution representation for the multi-machine two-stage scheduling problem, (2) to identify the best artificial intelligence search method for this problem based on extensive computational experiments, and (3) to propose a modified tabu search method to further improve the solution quality and computational time.     

Self Controlling Tabu Search algorithm for the Quadratic Assignment Problem

This paper addresses the application of the principles of feedback and self-controlling software to the tabu search algorithm. We introduce two new reaction strategies for the tabu search algorithm. The first strategy treats the tabu search algorithm as a target system to be controlled and uses a control-theoretic approach to adjust the algorithm parameters that affect search intensification. The second strategy is a flexible diversification strategy which can adjust the algorithm’s parameters based on the search history. These two strategies, combined with tabu search, form the Self Controlling Tabu Search (SC-Tabu) algorithm. The algorithm is implemented and tested on the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The results show that the self-controlling features of the algorithm make it possible to achieve good performance on different types of QAP instances.     

Parallel machine total tardiness scheduling with a new hybrid metaheuristic approach

This work proposes a hybrid metaheuristic (HMH) approach which integrates several features from tabu search (TS), simulated annealing (SA) and variable neighbourhood search (VNS) in a new configurable scheduling algorithm. In particular, either a deterministic or a random candidate list strategy can be used to generate the neighbourhood of a solution, both a tabu list mechanism and the SA probabilistic rule can be adopted to accept solutions, and the dimension of the explored neighbourhood can be dynamically modified. The considered class of scheduling problems is characterized by a set of independent jobs to be executed on a set of parallel machines with non-zero ready times and sequence dependent setups. In particular, the NP-hard generalized parallel machine total tardiness problem (GPMTP) recently defined by Bilge et al. [A tabu search algorithm for parallel machine total tardiness problem. Computers & Operations Research 2004;31:397–414], is faced. Several alternative configurations of the HMH have been tested on the same benchmark set used by Bilge et al. The results obtained highlight the appropriateness of the proposed approach.

Implementing and testing the tabu cycle and conditional probability methods

The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation and testing of the tabu cycle method and two variants of the conditional probability method. These methods were originally described in Glover and Laguna [Tabu search. Boston: Kluwer Academic Publishers; 1997] but have been largely ignored in the tabu search literature. For the purpose of testing, we employ a single-attribute implementation of a short-term memory procedure for the solution of a single machine scheduling problem. Computational experiments that employ instances with up to 200 jobs reveal the usefulness of the tabu cycle and the conditional probability methods as viable alternatives for managing the short-term memory in a tabu search implementation.
