Abstract: In this article we will give firstly a classification scheme of scheduling 
problems and their solving methods. The main aspects under examination are 
the following: machine and secondary resources, constraints, objective 
functions, uncertainty, mathematical models and adapted solution methods.
In a second part, based on this scheme, we will examine a corpus of 60 main 
articles (1015 citation links were recorded in total) in scheduling literature from 
1977 to 2009. The main purpose is to discover the underlying themes within the 
literature and to examine how they have evolved. To identify documents likely 
to be closely related, we are going to use the cocitation-based method of 
Greene et al. (2008).
Our aim is to build a base of articles in order to extract the much developed 
research themes and find the less examined ones as well, and then try to 
discuss the reasons of the poorly investigation of some areas.
