Traditional planning deals with the problem of finding activities to satisfy a given goal while traditional scheduling solves the problem of allocating known activities to limited resources and to limited time. In many real-life problems both tasks should be accomplished together. We give an example of such integrated planning and scheduling problem and in the software demonstration we show how...

The airline fleet assignment problem involves assigning aircrafts to flights to maximize profit. Different fleet assignment solutions cause dramatically different performance in subsequent crew planning and operational processes. We have developed an integrated fleet and crew robust planning method to provide fleet assignment solutions that are both friendly to crew planning and robust to real ...

This paper presents a two-stage heuristic using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to solve Integrated Process Planning and scheduling (IPPS) problem. The algorithm is incorporated with the objective of obtaining an optimal or near optimal schedule for a number of jobs with multi-operations. A graphical search method is used, where artificial ants are assigned as software agents to search for routin...

For the development of complex software systems, the combination of an in-teractive top-level and debugging environment and the speed of truly compiledcode provided by LISP provides development capabilities that are, in my opin-ion, superior to any other development environment. In this position paper, Iwill provide examples of how these capabilities provide increased efficiency...

In this paper we describe an integrated planning and scheduling architecture which leverages causal reasoning (typically the domain of classical planning) and constraint-based temporal and resource-related reasoning (scheduling). The overall solver is obtained through the so-called meta-CSP approach to multi-solver integration. We provide a preliminary evaluation of its performance through a se...

In this paper we present an educational tool, named CAMOU, which has been designed to both, acquire (learning) knowledge from the (educational) interactions among students and educators, and aid educators in the process of course design and analysis. CAMOU integrates a system, named IPSS, which uses planning and scheduling modules as main reasoning module. IPSS is used to automatically analyse,...
