Abstract(in English) To assist homemade cooking of busy people such as working people, child-growing families, and students, we have proposed a cooking-step scheduling algorithm for multiple dishes such that the total cooking time be minimized. For a given set of dishes where the cooking procedure for each dish is composed of a sequence of cooking-steps requiring certain time, this algorithm generates an optimal schedule for applying the cooking-steps of the dishes by considering the constraints of the cooks and the instruments. In this paper, we evaluate the robustness of this algorithm under time fluctuations in real cooking that can happen by variations of the proficiency of cooks and the cooking environment. First, we developed the evaluation cooking model to simulate the cooking process for a given schedule and time, and conducted simulations with randomly fluctuated time within 30% of the original one. Then, we actually cooked four dishes using the schedule found by the algorithm. In any result, the variation of the total cooking time is small compared to changes of cooking-step time. Thus, the robustness of the algorithm is confirmed.
