A hyper heuristic algorithm based genetic programming for steel production scheduling of cyber-physical system-oriented

Abstract

Intelligent manufacturing is the trend of the steel industry. A cyber-physical system oriented steel production scheduling system framework is proposed. To make up for the difficulty of dynamic scheduling of steel production in a complex environment and provide an idea for developing steel production to intelligent manufacturing. The dynamic steel production scheduling model characteristics are studied, and an ontology-based steel cyber-physical system production scheduling knowledge model and its ontology attribute knowledge representation method are proposed. For the dynamic scheduling, the heuristic scheduling rules were established. With the method, a hyper-heuristic algorithm based on genetic programming is presented. The learning-based high-level selection strategy method was adopted to manage the low-level heuristic. An automatic scheduling rule generation framework based on genetic programming is designed to manage and generate excellent heuristic rules and solve scheduling problems based on different production disturbances. Finally, the performance of the algorithm is verified by a simulation case.
