Abstract:

This paper presents an ant colony optimization metaheuristic for the solution of an industrial scheduling problem in an aluminum casting center. We present an efficient representation of a continuous horizontal casting process which takes account of a number of objectives that are important to the scheduler. We have incorporated the methods proposed in software that has been implemented in the plant.
