In this paper, we study the unrelated parallel machine problem for minimizing the makespan, which is NP-hard. We used Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search (TS) with Neighborhood Search (NS) based on the structure of the problem. We also used a modified SA algorithm, which gives better results th...
