Anatomy of a Scheduling Competition
This article analyzes the issues related to designing a regular competitive evaluation for automated scheduling systems. We provide some specific guidelines for designing the competition, and we set out to understand the benefits as well as the drawbacks of its implementation. Both issues are discussed over the backdrop of current relevant competitions in Computer Science.
متن کاملPosition Paper: Designing a Scheduling Competition
Introduction Judging by the effects that similar competitions have had in other research areas, a successful scheduling competition has much to offer the field. However, the difficulties to be overcome are quite significant; to my knowledge, there have been at least two previous attempts to organize such a competition, both ultimately unsuccessful. In this position paper, I explore some of the ...
متن کاملThe Challenge of Sequence-Dependent Setups: Proposal for a Scheduling Competition Track on One Machine Sequencing Problems
Designing a scheduling competition to attract researchers from the several fields interested in scheduling problems seems a challenging, and highly worthwhile effort. In this paper, we propose a design for one possible track of this proposed scheduling competition. Specifically, we propose a track aimed at one machine sequencing problems. We argue that any such track must include problems with ...
متن کاملMulti-objective optimization of time-cost-quality-carbon dioxide emission-plan robustness in construction projects
Today, the construction industry is facing intense competition and success in this competition depends on several factors. Project managers try to minimize project time and cost, carbon dioxide emission and at the same time maximizing the quality of project and its plan robustness. In this paper, study construction project scheduling considering a discrete trade-off between time, cost, quality,...
