Abstract: To overcome the shortcoming of the genetic algorithm and the tabu search algorithm for solving the job
shop scheduling problem, this paper proposes an adaptive genetic tabu algorithm. By adjusting the mutation
probability adaptively and putting the tabu search algorithm to the process of the genetic algorithm, the
improved genetic tabu algorithm promotes the rate in convergence and avoids such disadvantages as
premature convergence. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed improved genetic tabu
algorithm is fast in convergence, and it does not get stuck at a local optimum easily.
