Scheduling resolution requires the intervention of highly skilled human problem-solvers. This is a very hard and challenging domain because current systems are becoming more and more complex, distributed, interconnected and subject to rapidly changing. A natural Autonomic Computing (AC) evolution in relation to Current Computing is to provide systems with Self-Managing ability with a minimum human interference.engArtificial intelligenceProblem solving, control methods, and search – schedulingDistributed artificial intelligence - multiagent systemsconference object2013-04-23
