An immunoglobulin-based artificial immune system for solving the hybrid flow shop problem

- This paper addresses a hybrid flow shop with minimizing makespan.
- An immunoglobulin-based artificial immune system (IAIS) is proposed.
- IAIS is better fit the natural immune system and easy to understand.
- A new somatic recombination and a new hypermutation are proposed in IAIS.
- Computational results show that IAIS is very competitive.
