An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for Energy-Aware Steelmaking Continuous Casting Scheduling

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper addresses the Steelmaking Continuous Casting production scheduling problem (SCC) with power consumption as the main objective. An encoding and decoding scheme is proposed and an effective Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is presented to solve it. Simulation experiments indicate that EDA can solve the SCC problem efficiently and has fast speed of convergency.
