• abstract = "he automatic generation of dispatching rules (DRs) for various scheduling problems using genetic programming (GP) has become an increasingly researched topic in recent years. Creating DRs in this way relieves domain experts of the tedious task of manually designing new rules, but also often leads to the discovery of better rules than those already available. However, developing new DRs is a computationally intensive process that takes time to converge to good solutions. One possible way to improve the convergence of evolutionary algorithms is to use a more sophisticated method to generate the initial population of individuals. In this paper, we propose a simple method for initialising individuals that uses probabilistic information from previously evolved DRs. The method extracts the information on how many times each node occurs at each level of the tree and in each context. This information is then used to introduce bias in the selection of the node to be selected at a particular position during the construction of the expression tree. The experiments show that with the proposed method it is possible to improve the convergence of GP when generating new DRs, so that GP can obtain high-quality DRs in a much shorter time.",
