Abstract

In the construction industry, the order of execution of the project is not restricted to a specific sequence, but is rather flexible and may proceed in various directions. As a result, the planning of such projects should allow for testing alternative "what-if" scenarios in order to determine the most feasible schedule. This paper describes an interactive graphic-based scheduling system for generating alternative schedules. The system takes as input an initial 1ogical network for a schedule. A dynamic graphical display module allows the user to modify activity bars directly on the screen. User changes are restricted to a range of values imposed by scheduling criteria that are defined in a knowledge-based scheduling module. The scheduling module defines the scheduling rules and criteria and is responsible for generating a new schedule based on the user changes.
