Spool scheduling and expert systems

Abstract

For a long time, spool scheduling problems have been solved through the use of conventional programming techniques. However, in order to offer new functionalities and to improve the quality of service of the spools systems, other programming techniques may be considered. Among these techniques, we have chosen the expert system approach. As a matter of fact, this approach seems to be particularly adapted for the development of performant spool systems. This thesis thus draws a prototype of a spool scheduler expert system. It also studies the validity of such an approach for the development of a commercial product.
