Constraint-Based Scheduling in an Intelligent Logistics Support System: An Artificial Intelligence Approach.
Abstract
This report summarizes the progress of research performed under AFOSR contract Number F49620-82-K-0017, titled Constraint-Based Scheduling in an Intelligent Logistics Support Syestem: An Artificial Intelligence Approach . During the contract renewal period from March, 1984 to March, 1985, the continued development of a theory of hierarchical, opportunistic constraint-directed reasoning for job shop scheduling has been the focus of our research. Specifically, we have conducted work in the areas or of opportunistic exploitation of constraints, and constaint-directed diagnosis. The former has led us to the use of multiple problem decompositions during schedule generation, while the latter has evolved toward development of a more broad based framework for reactive scheduling. An experimental software system call ISIS has continued it evolution and additional testing with simulated plant data has been performed. The design of a successor system called PHOENIX has been initiated. (Author)
