A search space analysis of the Job Shop Scheduling Problem

A computational study for the Job Shop Scheduling Problem is presented. Thereby,emphasis is put on the structure of the search space as it appears for local search. A statisticalanalysis of the search space reveals the impact of inherent properties of the problem onlocal search based heuristics.
