文摘Due to the stubborn nature of dynamic job shop scheduling problem,a novel ant colony coordination mechanism is proposed in this paper to search for an optimal schedule in dynamic environment.In ant colony coordination mechanism,the dynamic job shop is composed of several autonomous ants.These ants coordinate with each other by simulating the ant foraging behavior of spreading pheromone on the trails,by which they can make information available globally,and further more guide ants make optimal decisions.The proposed mechanism is tested by several instances and the results confirm the validity of it.
