Abstract

This paper presents the specification of an architecture for self-organizing scheduling systems. The proposed architecture uses learning by observing the experts and interpretation of scheduling experience. The design of intelligent systems that learn with experts is a very hard and challenging domain because current systems are becoming more and more complex and subject to rapid changes. In this work, different areas as Intelligent and Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces, Metacognition and Learning from Observation, Self-managed Systems, amongst others, are joint together resulting in a global fully integrated architecture for self-organizing scheduling systems.
