This conference is the third in a series of conferences (the first took place in Nottingham, UK in August 2003, the second in New-York in July 2005) that serves as a forum for an international community of researchers, practitioners and vendors on all aspects of multi-disciplinary scheduling. The conference will cover, but not be limited to, the following disciplines:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Computer Science
- Engineering
- Management
- Manufacturing
- Mathematics
- Operational Research
The aim is to bring together scheduling researchers and practitioners from all the disciplines that engage with scheduling research.
The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to):
Agent Based Scheduling, Algorithmics, Applications, Automated Reasoning, Batch Scheduling, Commercial Packages, Complexity of Scheduling Problems, Constraint Logic Programming, Delivery Scheduling, Evolutionary Algorithms, Heuristic Search, Knowledge-Based Systems, Large Scale Scheduling, Local Search, Machine Scheduling, Meta-heuristic Search, Multi-processor Scheduling, Process Scheduling, Production Scheduling, Real World Scheduling, Real-Time Scheduling, Rostering, Rule-Based Expert Systems, Shop-Floor Scheduling, Sports Scheduling, Theoretical Scheduling, Timetabling, Transport Scheduling, Vehicle Routing
