Abstract

Scheduling problems are difficult types of production arrangement problems that enumerated among NP-Complete problems. Some of evolutionary algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization etc. have been used to solve this problem. In new years, Artificial Immune Algorithm is used to solve optimization problems such as routing and scheduling. One of complex scheduling problems is Job-shop Scheduling problem. In this article we use immune system concepts of human body, to implement a new artificial immune algorithm for solving Job-shop scheduling problem. A new population generation method was proposed based on G&T algorithm. We use two mutation methods, namely Shift Change method and Inverse method in Job-shop scheduling for first time. Moreover, we describe a vaccination method named MCV, to make maximum advance in solutions, and then achieve to more than one optimal solution concurrently and release from local optimum. Finally, we test our method on the very famous benchmark of JSP, namely FT06, then show experimental results and get some conclusions.
