On the pages that follow, examples of the PIM/Paracell approach to solutions are covered in brief. Each application is characterized by an agent-based approach to the solution.

Central JR Railway is a "faster than real-time" simulator that is used on the famous Japanese Bullet Train to train operators how to get their schedule back on track following an unexpected disturbance.

GM Truck & Bus is a real-time, on-line application in an industrial setting.

Plastics Manufacturing is an off-line scheduler for a process control application scheduling diverse orders through finite resources.

Finally, Manufacturing Agility Server is a NIST/ATP sponsored program to develop a real-time, on-line, task reassignment engine for work cells within a factory.
