We analyze the differential evolution in task scheduling and propose an advanced shift-chain</p> <p>methodology to improve the cooperation between scheduling components. The proposed framework introduces a wait-<br />ing time-based neighborhood exploration strategy for handling complex task dependencies, along with two parallel</p> <p>implementation approaches: basic matching vector (MV) parallelization and an event-driven strategy. The experi-<br />mental results demonstrated superior solution quality and computational efficiency compared with existing methods,</p> <p>particularly in large scale problems. The modular design of this framework enables practical applications in modern<br />computing environments.</p> 2025-03-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Sirui Mao, Masato Edahiro
