19th International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science Society An Object-Oriented Approach to a Parallel Tabu Search Algorithm for the Task Scheduling Problem Talca, Chile November 11-November 13 ISBN: 0-7695-0296-2
This work presents a parallel object-oriented tabu search (TS) algorithm for static task scheduling. The scheduling problem and the TS method are separately modeled under an object-oriented approach. The TS parallelization follows a strategy based on multi-search threads and the algorithm is fully implemented using the Java language. Besides providing a new scheduling algorithm, this work contributes to demonstrate: (i) the strength of object-orientation also in this field of applications; (ii) the adaptability of TS to asynchronous parallelization; (iii) the significance of diversification in TS algorithms and (iv) the potential of the Java language in implementing highly portable object-oriented parallel software
