Introducing my self....

["Vazquez Rodriguez, Jose A" <javazq@essex.ac.uk>]

Dear All:
	My name is Antonio Vazquez (from Mexico) Im currently doing my
PhD at the University of Essex UK....  Im focussing my
Research on Scheduling theory. I have been working with flexible flow
shops, and now Im starting with the Flexible Job Shop (Job shops with
multiple identical processors by stage)problem. Im trying different
metaheuristics among them GAs and some bit of ACS. 
	I think that this is exactly the right place to discuss and
share al sort of  information about the topic... Like a first request :
	Does any body know some work in the particular problem of
Flexible Job Shop (FJS), understood as a shop with multiple stages, and
every stage with multiple machines ??. I make this last clear since FJSs
have been also understood as Job Shops that allow recirculation of the
jobs. I need to find some benchmarks....  

Thanks...    

Jose Antonio Vazquez

Welcome to the Genetic Algorithms in Production Scheduling list
================================================================
You are now subscribed to the GAScheduling List for discussion of the
use of Genetic Algorithms on Production Scheduling Problems.

The list is restricted to discussion on GAs for scheduling 
problems: there are other lists for wider issues of GAs and 
scheduling as separate subjects.

Possible subjects for the list might include:

o  GAs for job-shop scheduling theory,
o  GAs for practical problem solving in industry,
o  problem representation within the genetic algorithm,
o  combinatorial optimisation techniques for scheduling problems,
o  results & effects of GA-based systems working in industry,
o  techniques for improving performance, 
o  problem data, 
o  your experiences of using GAs for scheduling problems, 
o  comparisons of GAs against other methods,

or any other issues in the field of GAs for production scheduling.

Please feel free to start a discussion if you think the topic would
interest or help other researchers, but of course, respect the usual
rules of mailing lists.

To post a message to the list, address it to:

    gascheduling@sheffield.ac.uk
