The topic of this thesis are new approximation methods for job-shop scheduling that dispatch jobs based on statistics collected from multiple Monte Carlo rollouts. The methods use a look-ahead feature to evaluate all the jobs available for dispatching, by generating multiple feasible schedules. Previous work on rollout algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems has focused on sequentially consistent heuristics, that only search small areas of the solution space. The new algorithms widen the search space by basing the search on sequentially inconsistent algorithms. Four new algorithms are proposed: the fortified rollout algorithm, average rollout algorithm, hybrid rollout algorithm and quantile rollout algorithm. These methods differ...
