Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Vincent T’kindt (University of Tours). The title is "The Marriage of Matheuristics and Scheduling".

The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, February 15 at 14:00 UTC. Join Zoom Meeting https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/91263922505 You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A

The abstract follows. This talk is about the heuristic solution of scheduling problems by means of heuristics based on mathematical programming, well-known under the name of matheuristics. Whatever they are used to build or improve a solution, they always take advantage of mathematical programming in order to efficiently solve some subproblems. Matheuristics have been introduced in the literature during the last decade especially to solve routing problems. Few is known about their application to machine scheduling problems. I will introduce to different forms of matheuristics and give a feedback on the solution of some scheduling problems, making also an outing in the land of machine learning.

The next talk in our series will be: Hyun-Jung Kim (KAIST) | March 1 | Scheduling with Machine Learning. For more details, please visit https://schedulingseminar.com/

With kind regards

Zdenek, Mike and Guohua
