Abstract
Extended Manufacturing Environments (EMEs) are nowadays growing due to the increase on Distributed and Virtual Enterprises, which led to an emergent need to apply scheduling approaches accordingly. This can be achieved in several different ways, namely by putting forward new approaches or by trying to adapt existing ones. In this paper the adaptation of some existing scheduling methods is proposed for solving a two stage manufacturing scheduling problem, and an illustrative example is presented. Several approaches were analyses, namely through the use of the ANOVA and the Post Hoc Scheffe's test, that demonstrated the superior performance of one of the proposed methods.

Abstract
Current manufacturing scheduling has still difficulties to deal with real-world situations and, hence, human intervention is required to maintain real-time adaptation and optimization, to efficiently adapt to the inherent complex system dynamics. In this paper the prototype of an Adaptive Decision Support System for Interactive Scheduling with MetaCognition and User Modeling Experience (ADSyS) is proposed. A preliminary usability evaluation was streamlined to collect user's opinion about the system performance and interaction model.
