A Proactive Robust Scheduling Method for Aircraft Carrier Flight Deck Operations with Stochastic Durations by Xichao Su, Wei Han, Yu Wu, Yong Zhang, Jie Liu

“…To optimize the baseline schedule and resource allocation, a hybrid teaching-learning-based optimization (HTLBO) algorithm is designed which integrates differential evolution operators, peak crossover operator, and learning-automata-based adaptive variable neighborhood search strategy. Simulation results shows that the HTLBO algorithm outperforms both some other state-of-the-art algorithms for deterministic cases and some existing algorithms for stochastic project scheduling, and the robustness of the flight deck operations can be improved with the proposed resource allocation schemes and CPC policy.…”
