Hybrid tabu search and a truncated branch-and-bound for the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem

We consider the problem of scheduling a number of jobs on a number of unrelated parallel machines in order to minimize the makespan. We develop three heuristic approaches, i.e., a genetic algorithm, a tabu search algorithm and a hybridization of these heuristics with a truncated branch-and-bound pro...
