A large number of complex scheduling optimization problems are prevalent in many fields such as defense, manufacturing, energy, transportation, agriculture, and logistics. These problems are characterized by nonlinearity, multi-objective, strong constraints, uncertainty, dynamics, the coexistence of discrete and continuous variables, and time-consuming evaluation, which pose great challenges to traditional optimization methods. Swarm intelligence optimization based on population iterative search has become an effective way to solve complex scheduling optimization problems in recent years because of its simplicity, efficiency, and especially low requirement for problem structure information. The research of efficient and robust intelligent optimization theory and method for complex scheduling problems has become an important hot content in the fields of automation, computer, and management science.
With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, and other information technologies, the second generation of artificial intelligence algorithms requires the deep integration of data, knowledge, arithmetic, and algorithms, which also points to the direction of innovation and development of swarm intelligence optimization. Purely model-driven optimization methods suffer from the difficulties of modeling, evaluation, and solution. Traditional swarm intelligence optimization mostly follows the basic steps of population initialization, crossover, mutation, and individual selection. Such purely data-driven optimization methods suffer from an insufficient combination of problem features and slow convergence speed. Therefore, the research on the design of optimization algorithms with data and model fusion can help improve the overall performance of the algorithms and is an important direction for the development of the new generation of population intelligent scheduling optimization.
Based on the above background, this special issue focuses on the latest theories, methods, and engineering applications of intelligent optimization and scheduling with data and model fusion. We provide a platform for researchers to present new achievements in intelligent scheduling optimization. The topics include, but are not limited to:
