Natural Intelligence for Scheduling, Planning and Packing Problems (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 250),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Scheduling, planning and packing are ubiquitous problems that can be found in a wide range of realworld settings. These problems transpire in a large variety of forms, and have enormous socioeconomic impact. For many years, significant work has been devoted to automating the processes of scheduling, planning and packing using different kinds of methods. However, poor scaling and the lack of flexibility of many of the conventional methods coupled with the fact that most of the realworld problems across the application areas of scheduling, planning and packing nowadays tend to be of large scale, dynamic and full of complex dependencies have made it necessary to tackle them in unconventional ways.This volume, 'Natural Intelligence for Scheduling, Planning and Packing Problems', is a collection of numerous natural intelligence based approaches for solving various kinds of scheduling, planning and packing problems. It comprises 12 chapters which present many methods that draw inspiration from nature, such as evolutionary algorithms, neuralfuzzy system, particle swarm algorithms, ant colony optimisation, extremal optimisation, raindrop optimisation, and so on. Problems addressed by these chapters include freight transportation, job shop scheduling, flowshop scheduling, electrical load forecasting, vehicle routing, twodimensional strip packing, network configuration and forest planning, among others. Along with solving these problems, the contributing authors present a lively discussion of the various aspects of the natureinspired algorithms utilised, providing very useful and important new insights into the research areas.
