This paper describes some developing issues for ACS based software tools to support decision making process and solve the problem of generating a sequence of jobs that minimizes the total weighted tardiness for a set of jobs to be processed in a single machine. An Ant Colony System (ACS) based algorithm performance is validated with benchmark problems available in the OR library. The obtained results were compared with the optimal (best available results in some cases) and permit to conclude about ACS efficiency and effectiveness. The ACS performance and respective statistical significance was evaluated.
