Jobshop Scheduling with task intervals
Abstract:
This paper presents a technique for scheduling based on sets of tasks. Used within a branch & bound algorithm, it cuts branches very efficiently. It is thus well adapted for proofs of optimality. This technique solves typical hard 10 \Theta 10 problems within a few thousand backtracks and is also adapted to large problems. LA21, a 15 \Theta 10 problem open since 1984 is solved and a new bound is given for LA29, a 20 \Theta 10 problem.
