Resumo


This paper reports a systematic review of the literature about genetic algorithms applied to the multiprocessor task scheduling problem. After defining a protocol with the main rules of this review, the research was performed considering journal papers published between 1990 and 2018. At the end of this process, 37 works were recovered and analyzed. By performing a meta-analysis, a variety of information was extracted and summarized, including impact factor, Eigenfactor score, scenarios considered, optimization metrics, volume of citations, and others.
