ISIS is a factory scheduling KBS developed by Mark Fox and Stephen Smith
at the Intelligent Systems Laboratory of the Robotics Institute at CMU,
in conjunction with Westinghouse. It constructs job-shop schedules,
monitors performance and avoids production bottlenecks, by evaluating and
resolving conflicting factors such as productivity goals, resource
requirements and machine preferences.
