• Heuristics and metaheuristics for scheduling
• Probabilistic and hybrid algorithms for scheduling
• Production and manufacturing scheduling
• Scheduling in the service sector
• Scheduling in supply chains
• Project scheduling
• Scheduling in uncertain environments
• Simulation-based scheduling
• Agent-based scheduling
• Constraint-based scheduling
• Dynamic scheduling
• Rescheduling
• Robust scheduling
• Real-time scheduling
• Scheduling software
• Educational aspects of scheduling
• Specific characteristics of metaheuristics for scheduling
• Real applications of scheduling
  

Important Dates

• January 31, 2011 - Deadline for Abstract Submission.
• February 28, 2011 - Notification of acceptance.
• March 14, 2011 - Deadline for early registration and authors registration.
• May 4-6, 2011 - VII ALIO/EURO Workshop.
