EQUILIBRIUM OPTIMIZER AND SLIME MOULD ALGORITHM WITH VARIABLE NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR JOB SHOP SCHEDULING PROBLEM

Equilibrium Optimizer and Slime Mould Algorithm with Variable Neighborhood Search for Job Shop Scheduling Problem

Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem.In recent years, many scholars have proposed various metaheuristic algorithms to solve JSSP, playing an important role in solving small-scale JSSP.However, when the size of the problem increases, the algorithms usually take too much time to converge.In thi
