When automated scheduling is employed, most often events and tasks are trea...

Considerations for scheduling and servicing events using a calendar structure

Work-conserving disciplines may be implemented with the use of scheduling calendars. Since calendars have finite resolutions, theoretical emission times that determine the positions of frames within the calendar slots have to be rounded to match the boundaries of the slots.

EventMinder: A Personal Calendar Assistant That Understands Events

Calendar applications do not understand calendar entries. This limitation prevents them from offering the range of assistance that can be provided by a human personal assistant. Understanding calendar entries is a difficult problem because it involves integrating many types of knowledge: commonsense knowledge, about common events and the particular instances in the world, and user knowledge abo...

An Online Survey Framework Using the Life Events Calendar

We describe an online survey framework programmed as a Java applet with a MySQL back-end. Our framework is built specifically as a Event History Calendar for the study of tobacco users and their behavior over a six month period. We introduce the notion of a Life Events Calendar and the relevance of an intelligent survey system in this context. We describe our methods and our component applicati...
