In this paper, we describe the architecture of an object-oriented scheduling system. First,
a mathematical framework is presented that is based on set theory and graph theory. Then
a number of basic as well as more specialized methods are defined which can be applied
on the entities of any decision support system. The principal objects of a scheduling system
are defined, as well as the methods specifically designed for the manipulation of the schedules.
The object base design, the schedule generator design and the user interface design are
then discussed in detail.Information Systems Working Papers Serie
