The Virtual Secretary Project: The Problem Definition
نویسنده
چکیده
The Virtual Secretary project focuses on the construction of an environment for secure software agents. As a research vehicle, i.e., to enable full-scale experiments in realistic settings, some major secretarial tasks have been chosen. Our environment for secure software agents will include propagation mechanisms, mechanisms for authentication and control, and common user software. A key element in this environment will be the propagation of the Virtual Secretary’s user model (i.e., nonexecutable control software). This report presents the problem definition for the Virtual Secretary project, specifies major problems and sketches a possible approach to the problem.

متن کاملThe Combinatorial Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem
This paper presents the formulation and solution of the Combinatorial Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem. The focus of the proposed method is not on finding a single optimal solution, instead on presenting multiple feasible solutions, with cost and duration information to the project manager. The motivation for developing such an approach is due in part to practica...
