• abstract = "Designing effective dispatching rules is an important factor for many manufacturing systems. However, this time consuming process has been performed manually for a very long time. Recently, some machine learning approaches have been proposed to support this task. In this paper, we investigate the use of genetic programming for automatically discovering new dispatching rules for the single objective job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Different representations of the dispatching rules in the literature and newly proposed in this work are compared and analysed. Experimental results show that the representation which integrates system and machine attributes can improve the quality of the evolved rules. Analysis of the evolved rules also provides useful knowledge about how these rules can effectively solve JSP.",
