Subject: [Scheduling&planning] a report with sample ontologies
A report on ontologies for scheduling problems is now available.
We are pursuing a way of configuring problem-solving methods for
a class of scheduling problems in our CAKE project. The report
focuses on ontologies for describing problem specification, and
the underlying principle for the ontology design.

    This document describes task-specific language constructs
    in which constraints in job assignment problems are described.
    First we define general assignment problems and analyze patterns
    of constraint descriptions in them. Based on the results of the
    analysis we define several language constructs and second-order
    functions. We then further elaborate the constructs and functions
    specific to job assignment problems. Examples of constraint
    descriptions and ontologies in Ontolingua are given in the
    appendix.
