“…the inputs, and its output format. All this information is described in a corresponding DTD file (Varela et al, 2002a and2002b). Figure 3 illustrates the system interface for defining the method's signature for an implementation of the branch and bound method proposed by Ignall and Schrage in 1965 for a flow shop problem.…”

“…Due to the existence of many different scheduling problems there is a need for a formal and systematic manner of problem representation that can serve as a basis for their classification. A framework for achieving this was developed by Varela et al (2002a and2002b), based on published work by Conway (1967), Graham et al (1979), Brucker (1995, Blazewicz (1996), and Jordan (1996), as well as on other information presented by (Morton, 1993) and by other authors namely (Artiba, 1997), and (Pinedo, 1995). This framework allows identifying the underlying characteristics of each problem to be solved, and is used as a basis for the XML-based problem specification model used in this work.…”

“…The evaluation criteria, the third class of parameters, may include any kind of performance measure, including multicriteria measures. More information about this threefield problem classification nomenclature is referred, for example, in Varela et al (2002aVarela et al ( , 2002bVarela et al ( and 2002c).…”

In this paper we make a contribution for scheduling problems solving through the web, by using web service. The XML-based modeling and communication is applied to the production scheduling activity. Therefore, scheduling concepts, like manufacturing problems and solving methods, including corresponding inputs and outputs are modeled using XML. This kind of data modeling is used for building our web-based scheduling decision support system, which works as a web service under the XML-RPC protocol. This protocol is used for invoking the implemented methods, for solving problems defined by the user, which are local or remotely available through the Internet. New methods can be continuously incorporated in the system's distributed repository in an easy and interactive way.

This paper describes a distributed knowledge base for manufacturing scheduling. A great variev of scheduling problems can occur in manufacturing. For solving dzfferent problems, usually dijjfjrent methods are required The distributed knowledge base enables sharing information about scheduling problems and corresponding solving methods in a widened search space. These methods can be remotely available and accessible through the Internet. Running several methods enables obtaining alternative results for a given problem, consequently, contributing for a better scheduling decisionmaking. An important aspect is that end users and scheduling methods' providers alike can easily and continuously update this knowledge base.

With the increase of the Internet and virtual communities, interfaces for webIn today's knowledge-based economy, the competitiveness of enterprises and the quality of work life are directly tied to the ability of effective creation and share of knowledge both, within and across organizations.Manufacturing scheduling is a complex task that involves a wide range of knowledge. Slight differences in the manufacturing environment originate distinct problems, which even though being closely related, require different solving methods.The effective and efficient resolution of those problems begins with the identification of suitable scheduling methods for solving them. When there are alternative methods to solve a problem we can obtain alternative solutions, which
