Abstract:

To solve job shop scheduling problem, a new approach-DNA computing is used in solving job shop scheduling problem, The approach using DNA computing to solve job shop scheduling is divided into three stands. Finally, optimum solutions are obtained by sequencing. A small job shop scheduling problem is solved in DNA computing, and the "operations" of the computation were performed with standard protocols, as ligation, synthesis, electrophoresis etc This work represents further evidence for the ability of DNA computing to solve NP-complete search problems.
