Other common scheduling dispatching rules have the nice property of being easy to understand, there...

A planning board is a planning tool that uses the Gantt chart as its main representation mechanism. A planning board generator aims at facilitating the development of planning boards; using a description of the problem type for which a planning board is to be developed and the desired representations and manipulations, the generator automatically creates a prototype of the planning board. In th...

This paper presents an analysis and empirical evaluation of techniques developed to support focus and context awareness in tasks involving visualization of time lines. It focuses on time lines that display discrete events and their temporal relationships. The most common form of representation for such time lines is the Gantt chart. Although ubiquitous in event visualization and project plannin...
