Workshop on Intelligent, Dynamic Scheduling for Manufacturing, Cocoa Beach, Florida, January 25-27, 1993

制造系统中的智能动态调度包含了一系列独特的问题，这些问题跨越了计算机科学、工程学和认知科学领域的专业知识。在制造调度领域有许多问题，包括：1。外部因素（供应商、生产订单、市场情况等）和内部因素（机器布局、安装时间、维护等）；2 .植物内部的相互作用，如系或细胞之间的资源共享；3 .意外情况或事件（故障、缺货、罢工等）；库存政策（例如，MRP与JIT）；布局类型（如流水线、单元格、作业车间）；体积。这些和其他问题使得调度问题变得复杂，需要一个基于植物综合推理任务模型的知识丰富的求解过程。本次研讨会汇集了具有独特技能的研究人员，他们需要在制造业中开发模型和调度程序。研讨会的目标是：1。阐明在这一领域取得了哪些进展；2 .确定制造过程中所需的各种级别和类型的时间表，以及它们之间的相互作用。3 .确定对计划形成/修订最关键的因素；通过讨论植物类型和/或特征的分类或形态学来解决植物特异性研究与更一般的研究。将生产调度与其他类型的调度任务进行比较；是什么使得生产调度独一无二？6。讨论该领域的实证与理论研究，7。为今后的工作设定主要的研究目标

Intelligent, dynamic scheduling in manufacturing systems encompasses a unique set of problems which span Computer Science, Engineering, and Cognitive Science fields of expertise. Many issues come to play in the manufacturing scheduling arena, including: 1. external (suppliers, production orders, market conditions, etc.) and internal factors (machine layout, setup times, maintenance, etc.), 2. interactions within the plant because of, e.g., resource sharing among lines or cells, 3. unexpected conditions or events (breakdowns, stockouts, strikes, etc.), 4. inventory policies (e.g., MRP versus JIT), 5. type of layout (e.g. flow lines, cells, job shop), 6. volume. These and other issues render the scheduling problem a complicated one, requiring a knowledge-rich solution procedure based on a model of the plant synthesis-type reasoning tasks. This workshop brings together researchers with the unique blend of skill necessary to develop models and schedulers in manufacturing. The goals of the workshop are to: 1. clarify what progress has been made in this area, 2. identify the various levels and types of schedules required in manufacturing and how they interact, 3. identify the factors most critical to schedule formation/revision, 4. address plant-specific research versus more general research via a discussion of classification or morphology of plant types and/or features, 5. compare manufacturing scheduling to other types of scheduling tasks; what makes manufacturing scheduling unique?, 6. discuss empirical versus theoretical research in the field, 7. set major research goals for future work.//
