Recently several new heuristic search techniques have been used in machine scheduling. In this paper the authors make some methodological and computational comparisons between such techniques as bottleneck-based algorithms (Shifting Bottleneck), deterministic neighborhood search procedures (Tabu Search), random oriented local search techniques (Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms) and Lagrangian relaxation approaches.
