Abstract(in English) In this paper, multi-step crossover (MSX) and a local search method are unified into a single operator called MSXF. MSXF utilizes a neighborhood structure and a distance measure in the search space. In MSXF, a solution, initially set to be one of the parents, is stochastically replaced by a relatively good solution in the neighborhood, where the replacement is biased toward the other parent. This process is repeated until reaching the other parent, and the best solution generated in the process is selected as an offspring. Using job-shop scheduling problem (JSSP) benchmarks, MSXF was evaluated in a GA framework as a high-level crossover working on the critical path of a schedule. Experiments showed the promising performance of MSXF/GA.
