Abstract

This work proposes a new framework for implementing control systems for distributed scheduling. The framework E-HIPS (Extended Hybrid Intelligent Process Scheduler) aims to scale processes in production systems as an extension to the framework HIPS, proposed by the authors in previous work. The original proposal presented a methodology and a set of tools that use the theory of agents and the heuristic search technique Genetic Algorithms (GA) for the implementation of computer systems that have the purpose of managing the scheduling of production processes in the industry. This article proposes an extension to the framework HIPS, by substitution of GA on Memetic Algorithms (MA). The article is an analysis of the problem, under the computational viewpoint, a retrospective of the original proposal, and a new description of the framework with these changes. Aiming to evaluate the framework and its extension, an implementation was made of a control application for scheduling flow to a section of a yarn dyeing industry raw materials for clothing. And a comparison of the results with actual production data obtained from the ERP industry where the system was applied.
