Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid model of computational intelligence to solve the job shop scheduling problem, classified as full NP. It is proposed to solve it using the technique of ant colony assisted with simulated annealing. The ant colony technique was used as a global search strategy, and the simulated annealing technique was used as a local search strategy. This proposal was validated experimentally with test problems reported in the literature.
