Abstract: Abstract This paper describes a web system for supporting manufacturing scheduling in practice. Within this system scheduling concepts like problems and solving methods are modelled through XML. Furthermore, the Internet remote methods' invocation is also based on the XML language and performed using the XML-RPC communication protocol. The architecture and underlying approach of the web system is oriented for solving a large variety of manufacturing scheduling problems based on a continuously updatable distributed knowledge base, which allows a network of peers to provide the scheduling service to users and the dynamic enlargement of the number of methods that can be accessed. This is done in an easy and interactive way.
