%0 Journal Article %T A Modified Giffler and Thompson Genetic Algorithm on the Job Shop Scheduling Problem %A Lee Hui Peng %A Sutinah Salim %J Matematika %D 2006 %I Universiti Teknologi Malaysia %X Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) is one of the well-known hardest combinatorial optimization problems. The goal of this research is to study an efficient scheduling method based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) to address JSSP. A GA based on Giffler and Thompson (GT) algorithm known as GT-GA that utilizes the GT crossover is investigated. This algorithm is modified to produce better results than the existing algorithm by using Visual Prolog programming language. %K Job Shop Scheduling Problem %K Genetic Algorithms %K GT-GA. %U http://www.fs.utm.my/matematika/images/stories/matematika/20062221.pdf
