The Editors invite you to submit high quality scheduling-related work for
publication in this new international, peer reviewed journal.  Papers of
both theoretical and applied nature will be considered and prompt reviewing
and publication times will be maintained.

---------------------------------------
       AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------------------------------

The Journal of Scheduling provides a recognised global forum for the
publication of all forms of scheduling-oriented research.  JoS covers
advances in scheduling research, such as the latest techniques,
applications, theoretical issues and novel approaches to scheduling
problems.  The journal is directly relevant to the areas of Computer
Science, Discrete Mathematics, Operational Research, Engineering,
Management, Artificial Intelligence, Construction, Distribution,
Manufacturing, Transport, Aerospace and Retail and Service
Industries. These disciplines face complex scheduling needs and all
stand to gain from advances in scheduling technology and
understanding.

----------------------------------
       KEY FEATURES
----------------------------------

*  Incorporates theoretical, experimental and applied research 
*  Covers recent computational and algorithmic advances in the field
*  Addresses the industrial need for scheduling
*  Includes surveys of techniques appropriate to particular subsets of
problems, for example:

	Real-time scheduling
	Sports scheduling
	Shop-floor scheduling
        Transport scheduling
	Vehicle routing
	Employee timetabling
	Machine scheduling
	Educational timetabling

Also covers applications relevant to areas such as:

	Constraint logic programming
	Artificial Intelligence
	Heuristic search
	Rule-based expert systems
	Automated Reasoning
	Evolutionary algorithms
	Mathematical programming
