 Historical evolution
From December 1990 to May 1992, SISCOG was the main contractor of CONSTRUCT (EP 5477), an ESPRIT II Project in the area of scheduling, in collaboration with Renault (France) and the Free University of Brussels (Belgium).
The goal of this project was to study constructive tasks and to develop a general tool for the generation of something that needs to be constructed out of pieces, for example, a layout, a schedule, or a plan.
This is a clear indication of the quality of SISCOG's software, since the Dutch Railways, a company with very high standards, both in terms of the quality of the railway operation and in terms of software development, is willing to fully rely on SISCOG's system for solving a very critical problem for their operation.
