Scheduling of production processes

This book's discussion of the latest developments and applications of advanced scheduling techniques provides an insight into the complex area of industrial production processes. "Scheduling of Production Processes" describes the different approaches to the problem of complexity in scheduling, and includes the modelling of scheduling constraints and the schedule generation process, enabling the reader to reach a unified and generalized methodology for the construction of scheduling systems which are capable of managing real problems. This book is designed for researchers and developers in artificial intelligence, especially those involved in scheduling systems, knowledge-based systems, expert systems design and operational research.
