Abstract

A system and method for allocating processing resources in an automated laboratory system configured with processing units at which one or more activities are performed using one or more processing resources are provided. A scheduler component received receiving at least one order requiring the execution of one or more protocols on the automated laboratory system. The scheduler generates one or more optimisation problem instances and utilizes the optimisation problem instances to generate the schedule of activities for the automated laboratory system. The scheduler causes the implementation of the generating schedule such that the activities can be performed according to desired protocol steps.
