The Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) is commonly formulated as a disjunctive graph in which nodes represent operations and edges encode technological precedence constraints as well as machine-sharing conflicts. Most existing reinforcement…

Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) are powerful tools for deep learning on heterogeneous graphs. Typical HGNNs require repetitive message passing during training, limiting efficiency for large-scale real-world graphs. Recent…
