A New Imperialist Competitive Algorithm for Multiobjective Low Carbon Parallel Machines Scheduling

This paper considers low carbon parallel machines scheduling problem (PMSP), in which total tardiness is regarded as key objective and total energy consumption is a non-key one. A lexicographical method is used to compare solutions and a novel imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is presented, in...
