Scheduling objectives, requirements, resources, constraints, and processes: Implications for a generic expert scheduling system architecture and toolkit

摘要

Scheduling has become an increasingly important element in today's society and workplace. Within the NASA environment, scheduling is one of the most frequently performed functions. Towards meeting NASA's scheduling challenges, there is a great need for developing a generic expert scheduling system architecture and toolkit. This paper examines objectives, requirements, resources, constraints, and processes associated with the scheduling domain. Implications for a generic expert scheduling system architecture and toolkit are then discussed.
