In this study, we discuss the design of the expert system for the scheduling of the FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cell) consisting of the several versatile machines. Due to the NP property, the scheduling problem of several machine FMC is very complex task. Thus we proposed the two heuritstic shceduling algorithms for solving the problem and constituted the algorithm based of solving the problem and constituted the algorithm base of ISS(Intelligent Scheduling System) using them. By the rules in the rule base, the best alternative among various algorithms in algorithm base is selected and applied in controlling the FMC. To show the efficiency of ISS, the scheduling output of ISS and the existent dynamic dispatching rule were tested and compared. The results indicate that the ISS is superior to the existent dynamic dispatching rules in various performance indexes.

이 연구에서는 항공기의 주기 문제를 해결하여 주는 스케줄링 시스템과 그 조정을 위한 전문가 시스템(RACES : Ramp Activity Co-ordination Expert System)을 설계 및 개발한 내용을 기술하고 있다. RACES는 공항에서 매일 발생하는 출발편 및 도착편 항공기를 브릿지(bridge)와 스팟(spot)에 배정하기 위해 인간 전문가(human expert)로부터 습득한 해당 분야의 지식(도메인 지식) 및 휴리스틱(heuristic)을 지식 베이스로 갖고 있다. 이 RACES는 브릿지/스팟과 항공기 간에 내적 관계, 예를 들어 승객 및 공항의 그라운드 핸들링(ground handling) 등과 같은 복잡하며 동적인 제약조건 들로부터 발생하는 복잡한 스케줄링 문제를 수반한다. 매일 발생하는 600편 정도의 항공기에 대한 주기장 관리 스케줄링이 인간 전문가에 의해 수행되어졌을 경우에는 약 4~5시간이 소요되는 반면 RACES에 의해 수행되어졌을 경우에는 약 20초 정도의 시간이 소요되었고 RACES로부터 얻어진 스케줄링 결과는 해당 분야의 전문가들로부터 인정되었다. RACES는 또한 예외적인 상황이 발생했을 경우에 스케줄의 부분적인 조정을 처리하도록 설계되었다. 하루의 스케줄링이 완료된 후 항공기의 변경 및 지연 메시지는 도메인 전문가의 지식을 바탕으로 스케줄링에 반영되어 스케줄이 조정되어야 한다. 동적 재스케줄링(reactive scheduling) 단계는 도메인 전문가의 지식 모델 분석을 통해 사용자 그래픽 인터페이스의 규칙과 시나리오로써 효과적으로 나타내어진다. 항공편의 변경 및 취소로 인해 발생되는 항공기 배치의 조정은 현재 스케줄에 반영되어져야 하기 때문에 이러한 항공기 배치의 조정은 동적 재스케줄링을 위해 메인 프레임으로부터 RACES에게 통보되어져야 하며 부분적인 재스케줄링을 처리하는 것에는 불규칙적인 요소들이 많기 때문에 RACES에 의해 스케줄의 조정이 반 자동적으로 수행된다.

This paper deals with the modeling and scheduling for FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cells). The FMC system composed of unit or multi cells is capable of improving productivity with flexibility for machine. However, the properties of multiple jobs and various alternatives results in tne dynamic states which make system management very complex. The extended Peti nets are used to represent for complex properties of FMC which performs short-term scheduling and dynamic operational scheduling. The hierarchical control structure and integlligent scheduling through expert module are adopted for efficiency of FMC operations. The computer simulation reveals that intelligent scheduling method is better than heuristics in various performance indices.

Locomotive scheduling in railway systems experiences many difficulties because of the complex interrelations among resources, knowledge and various constraints. Artificial intelligence technology has been applied to solve these scheduling problems. These technologies have proved to be efficient in representing knowledge and rules for complex scheduling problems. In this paper, we have applied the CSP (Constraints Satisfaction Problems) programming technique, one of the AI techniques, to solve the problems associated with locomotive scheduling. This method is more effective at solving complex scheduling problems than available mathematical programming techniques. The advanced locomotive scheduling system using the CSP programming technique is realized based on the actual timetable of the Saemaul type train on the Kyong-bu line. In this paper, an overview of the CSP programming technique is described, the modeling of domain and constraints is represented and the experimental results are compared with the real-world existing schedule. It is verified that the scheduling results by CSP programming are superior to existing scheduling performed by human experts. The executing time for locomotive scheduling is remarkably reduced to within several decade seconds, something requiring several days in the case of locomotive scheduling by human experts.

This paper describes an intelligent control-based job scheduler, named ESIJOBS, for flexible manufacturing system. In order to construct rulebase of this system, traditional rules of job scheduling in FMS are examined and evaluated. This result and the repetitional simulations with graphic monitoring system are used to form the rulebase of ESIJOBS, which is composed of three parts:six part selection rules, four machine center selection rules, and twenty-one metarules. Appropriate scheduling rule sets are selected by this rulebase and manufacturing system status. The performances of all simulations are affected by random breakdowns of major FMS components during each simulation. Six criteria are used to evaluate the performance of each scheduling. The two modes of ESIJOBS are simulated and compared with combinational 24 rule-set simulations. In this comparison ESIJOBS dominated the other rule-set simulations and showed the most excellent performance particularly in three criteria.

Games such as baseball, soccer are scheduled by a given game type such as tournament, league or their mixed form. The objective of this paper is to find an efficient game-scheduling method with respect to traveling distance, break-time and other conditions. In this paper we first present two models which minimize traveling distance. The first model that a match is played once each other is solved by a heuristic method. In the second model that a match is played more than once, teams are paired by a modified 0 - 1 programming, and the pairs are rearranged in order to generate a number of workable schedules. Then Expert Systems is applied to solve breake-time and other conditions. In order to represent expertise's knowledge effectively, we present a new design of knowledge-base and data-base, inference engine including many rules and meta-rules which controls the global system. In knowledge-base, binary relation among various attributes is used to ease not only knowledge acquisition but also system execution.

An extensive survey is carried out on the applications of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ES (Expert System) in mathematical programming and simulation, which are the most frequently used tools in production planning. A scheduling field is also reviewed. The scheduling problem is one of the most attractive area for AI and ES researchers, since any practical algorithmic solution methods are not available. The current practice and difficulty of applying AI and ES to production planning are discussed and future research directions are identified.

Simulation-Based Expert System(SIMBES) is a very effective tool to solve complex antral hard problems. The SIMBES model includes a simulator, a feature extractor, a machine learning system, a performance evaluator, and a Knowledge-Based Expert System(KBES). Since SIMBES depends on Problem domains, a schedule-based material requirements planning problem, which is NP-hard, was selected to exemplify the SIMBES model. To implement the SIMBES application in Smalltalk paradigm, a system class hierarchy was constructed. The hierarchy consists of five large classes such as Job Generator, Job Scheduler, Job Evaluator, Inference Engine, and Executive System. Several classes inside these classes were identified. Additionally, instance protocols about all classes have been described in terms of messages and pseudo methods. These protocols can be implemented easily by any other object-oriented languages. Furthermore, these results may be used as a skeletal system to develop a new SIMBES efficiently, especially when the application is related to other scheduling problems.
