I have to create an Artificial Neural Network that would solve a Job Shop scheduling problem. I have really searching (still searching) on google for a place to start. I need to understand how I can get the theoretical network into a program (preferably C++) I dont need the code as such since that is what I have to do but I need a starting point.

So far I am looking at using ANN and evolution programming to adjust the weights of the neural network in order to come up with a better solution. But beyond that I am stuck.

Please help me out.

Thanks.
