Production Scheduling

Pierre Lopez is a researcher within the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems at the French National Center for Scientific Research (LAAS-CNRS). He is also head of the MOGISA group (Modeling, Optimization and Integrated Management of Systems of Activities). Francois Roubellat is also a researcher within LAAS-CNRS. His research is focused on Decision Support Systems for activity scheduling with resource constraints.
