The scope of this paper is twofold. Firstly the authors propose augmented Lagrangian-based decomposition techniques for solving scheduling problems in manufacturing systems and then they show that the resulting decomposition of the mathematical problem lends itself to control systems with a topological cellular structure, and that it can be espoused very naturally with an object-oriented programming approach.
