Abstract
To address the resource scheduling problem in complex production environments, this study proposes a production scheduling model based on Estimation of Distribution Algorithm.The model constructs a probability model using spatial distribution, evaluates the scheduling population based on high-quality individuals, introduces an archive mechanism to enhance solution diversity, and combines Deep Reinforcement Learning and Tabu Search algorithm for global optimization.It achieves adaptive production scheduling optimization under dynamically changing resources.In testing experiments, the model achieves an accuracy of 95.11 % in sample classification prediction tasks.The computational load and number of parameters for production data processing are 664.8FLOPs and 90.54 M, respectively.The scheduling delay rate and resource utilization are 4.39 % and 97.96 %, significantly outperforming comparison models.These results indicate that the model provides stable and efficient production scheduling optimization and multi-constraint conditions, offering reliable algorithm support for production scheduling in cloud-based networked manufacturing environments.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).

It is found that what perceived as biggest challenges by software startups do vary across different life cycle stages, even though its significance decreases when the learning focuses of the startups move from problem to solution and their products mature.
