Abstract
In a recent paper a two-machines two-servers scheduling problem with identical machines but unrelated servers and makespan objective is studied and solved via sophisticated Variable-Neighbourhood Search procedures, for instances up to 120 jobs in size. We show that the same problem can be transformed to a pretty standard problem with unrelated machines that can be efficiently solved to optimality, up to much larger instances.
期刊介绍:
Operations research and computers meet in a large number of scientific fields, many of which are of vital current concern to our troubled society. These include, among others, ecology, transportation, safety, reliability, urban planning, economics, inventory control, investment strategy and logistics (including reverse logistics). Computers & Operations Research provides an international forum for the application of computers and operations research techniques to problems in these and related fields.
