Abstract

The Generalized Assignment (GAP) determines the minimum assignment of n tasks to m workstations such that each task is assigned to exactly one workstation, subject to the capacity of a workstation. In this paper, we presented a new heuristic search algorithm for GAPs. Then we tested it on 4 different benchmark sample sets of random problems generated according to uniform distribution on a microcomputer.
