Abstract
  The parallel machine scheduling problem (PMSP) is one of the most difficult classes of problem. Due to the complexity of the problem, obtaining optimal solution for the problems with large size is very time consuming and sometimes, computationally infeasible. So, heuristic algorithms that provide near-optimal ...  Read More
