Open shop scheduling

Description
A satellite routes the traffic from four transmitter stations to four receiver stations. It has a switch that allows any permutation (mode) between the four transmitters and the four receivers. A valid schedule of transmissions defines a sequence of permutations that routes all the traffic of the given traffic matrix TRAF. An element of TRAF may be fragmented, and appear in several modes of the final decomposition. The objective is to find a schedule with minimal total duration. The solution algorithm solves an assignment problem for every permutation.

   DESCRIPTION:  A satellite routes the traffic from four transmitter 
                 stations to four receiver stations. It has a switch that 
                 allows any permutation (mode) between the four transmitters 
                 and the four receivers. A valid schedule of transmissions 
                 defines a sequence of permutations that routes all the 
                 traffic of the given traffic matrix TRAF. An element of 
                 TRAF may be fragmented, and appear in several modes of 
                 the final decomposition. The objective is to find a 
                 schedule with minimal total duration.
                 The solution algorithm solves an assignment problem for 
                 every permutation.
