Within the scheduling community, there has recently been an increasing interest in modelling and solving of scheduling problems in dynamic and uncertain environments. Such research does not utilize the developments of queueing theory, an area that has examined problems of similar nature. This paper is initial work towards the goal of integrating queueing theory and scheduling. Specifically, by ...

The constrained multiagent task scheduling problem is a problem class that describes complex scheduling problems that integrate stochastic task allocation with constraint satisfaction for agents that concurrently execute multiple tasks. The combination of elements from constraint satisfaction, task allocation and resource scheduling produces a challenging class of problems. Unfortunately, exist...

Production scheduling in underground mines is still a manual process, and achieving a truly optimal result through manual scheduling is impossible due to the complexity of the scheduling problems. Among the underground mining methods, sub-level caving is a common mining method with a high production rate for hard rock mining. There are limited studies about long-term production scheduling...

Since there has been tremendous progress in planning and scheduling in the process industry during the last 20 years, it might be worthwhile to give an overview of the current state-of-the-art of planning and scheduling problems in the chemical process industry. This is the purpose of the current review which has the following structure: we start with some conceptional thoughts and some comment...
