For the purpose of generating a standardized environment to test scheduling solvers on scheduling problems and to rank the results in comparison to other solvers, a simulation-based framework for a dynamic resource allocation test bed is proposed and realized. Our focus is on multiplemachine problem formulations, predictable dynamics, event based control and especially their combination. The framework separates the system into the test bed, the solver and a problem generator. Finally a test bed within this framework is realized with the commercial simulation software ProModel.
