Scheduling problems have  produced roughly 40 years of research primarily within the OR  community. This community has traditionally emphasized mathematical  modeling techniques which seek exact solutions to well formulated  optimization problems. While this approach produced important results,  many contemporary scheduling problems are particularly difficult.  Hence, over the last ten years operations researchers interested in  scheduling have turned increasingly to more computer intensive and  heuristic approaches. At roughly the same time, researchers in AI  began to focus their methods on industrial and management science  applications. The result of this confluence of fields has been a  period of remarkable growth and excitement in scheduling research.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Scheduling Systems\u003c\/em\u003e captures the results of a new  wave of research at the forefront of scheduling research, of interest  to researchers and practitioners alike. Presented are an array of the  latest contemporary tools -- math modeling to tabu search to genetic  algorithms -- that can assist in operational scheduling and solve  difficult scheduling problems. The book presents the most recent  research results from both operations research (OR) and artificial  intelligence (AI) focusing their efforts on \u003cem\u003ereal\u003c\/em\u003e scheduling  problems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461359548\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2263-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 260\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343312580748,"sku":"9781461359548","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461359548.jpg?v=1779502108","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461359548","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
