Distributed Meeting Scheduling

Meeting scheduling takes place when a group of people intend to meet with each other. Since each person has individual availability constraints and preferences, meeting scheduling is naturally distributed and there is a need to schedule the meeting in such a way as to consider the preferences of the set of meeting participants. In addition, individual meeting constraints and preferences may change both as a result of an agent's situation or as a result of other agents' scheduling decisions. Therefore, there is a need for distributed reactive schedule revision in response to changing requirements and constraints. W e present an approach to distributed meeting scheduling based on modeling and communication of constraints and preferences among the agents. When a feasible global schedule cannot be found, agents enter a negotiation and relax their constraints. The approach enables the agents to find and reach agreement on the schedule with the highest joint utility and to reactively revise the schedule in response to new information

Creation and implementation of customised production scheduling software in a processed cheese factory : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Manufacturing and Industrial Technology at Massey University

This project investigated creating computer algorithms and friendly software interfaces to assist with the scheduling of single stage operations with sequence dependant set-ups and crew rostering problems across multiple lines. Various techniques and approaches were investigated for reducing the total solution space including, grouping similar items and orders and bucket scheduling. The principles of the Goldratt Method of Scheduling were used. A Tabu Search algorithm was implemented to search for solutions where total make-span was minimised and probability of missing orders was taken into account in an unreliable production system. Microsoft Access and Microsoft Visual Basic were used to create a stand alone application that interfaced with a Manufacturing Resource Planning system

Communication framework to support more effective onsite construction monitoring

The UK construction industry has recently witnessed an increasing demand for cost-reduction strategies due to the strict government regulations on BIM implementation. This adoption will certainly lead to a continuous work improvement, better project delivery and communication. Although the UK government has set a target of 15–20% saving on the costs of capital projects by the full implementation of BIM level 2 in 2016, this figure is unlikely to be met since the majority of construction companies are still spending approximately £20 billion per year on rebuilding and repairing the construction defects caused by miscommunication. This research addresses the problem of communication using traditional methods (i.e. communication through paper-based documents and drawings) and its impact during the construction phase in relation to clash detection. Next, we will present a communication framework using advanced visualisation technique such as augmen ted reality (AR) combined with a BIM model with an easy access to the IFC f ile on site for a compliance checking between the BIM model and the actual co nstruction site. Subsequently, site inspection can be performed more efficiently, and with more reliability. Furthermore, early warning on future occu rring clashes can be given. To reach our objectives, the research has been designed using real case scenario, following two phases of implementation. The first phase include the communication study and consists of determining users requiring a ssistance with regard to site monitoring and inspection, whereas the second, built on the results of the first phase to specify and implement the mobile AR syste

Polynomial optimization techniques for activity scheduling. Optimization based prototype scheduler

Polynomial optimization techniques for activity scheduling (optimization based prototype scheduler) are presented in the form of the viewgraphs. The following subject areas are covered: agenda; need and viability of polynomial time techniques for SNC (Space Network Control); an intrinsic characteristic of SN scheduling problem; expected characteristics of the schedule; optimization based scheduling approach; single resource algorithms; decomposition of multiple resource problems; prototype capabilities, characteristics, and test results; computational characteristics; some features of prototyped algorithms; and some related GSFC references
