A Literature Review for the Simulated Annealing Method on the Parallel Machines since 2003

In this article, since the year 2003, many heuristic methods have been applied in parallel machine scheduling problem with the simulated annealing method in the literature review. Performing a detailed literature research has revealed that there are numerous heuristic methods applied to parallel machine problems. It is seen that, among these heuristics, simulated annealing yields the best solution in the shortest time, which is also the case with the other probabilistic approaches. Simulated annealing, which is inspired by the perfect atomic configurations of cooling solids, especially metals, and is the simpliest of all artificial intelligence algorithms, is a research area that is very open for further development. Creating this work we have benefited from the databases of many journals. Research results show that there is a little work which is the simulated annealing method with the implementation of the parallel machine has been noticed. Here, at this point, these studies reveal.
