Abstract :
This paper presents a scheduling software system. The system design is based on oriented object concepts and the scheduling algorithm developments are supported by a coordinated decentralized control approach. The system has three aims: 1) it supports research and development works on scheduling algorithms; 2) it is an educational aid tool which supports practical experiments in Scheduling Theory courses. The system is used in industrial applications. In this case, a complete life cycle of algorithms is carried out. It comprises several phases such as modelling of the practical problem, development of algorithms, adaptation to industrial problems, evaluation of performances and industrial installation
