Bringing the User Back into Scheduling: Two Case Studies of Interaction with Intelligent Scheduling Assistants
نویسندگان
چکیده
This position paper discusses the scheduling problem as collaboration between human and automated scheduling assistant. We compare two recent scheduling systems we have developed at SRI that both involve and enable the user in the scheduling process. While embedding fully automated scheduling algorithms, these assistant systems go beyond decision-aids. They work with and in service of their user to jointly solve the scheduling problem.

Modeling Human-Agent Interaction with Active Ontologies
As computer systems continue to grow in power and access more networked content and services, we believe there will be an increasing need to provide more user-centric systems that act as intelligent assistants, able to interact naturally with human users and with the information environment. Building such systems is a difficult task that requires expertise in many AI fields, ranging from reason...
متن کاملUsing Graphics to Display Messages in an Intelligent Decision
The paper addresses the form of the graphical interface for an IDSS used for scheduling small-batch production. The IDSS has been developed to aid inferential processing by bringing “visibility” to those attributes experienced schedulers use to schedule jobs on the shop floor. From the patterns in the values of the attributes, schedulers can see interactions and dependencies between jobs.
متن کاملCross-layer Packet-dependant OFDM Scheduling Based on Proportional Fairness
This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...
متن کاملPower Control and Scheduling For Low SNR Region in the Uplink of Two Cell Networks
In this paper we investigate the sub-channel assignment and power control to maximize the total sum rate in the uplink of two-cell network. It is assumed that there are some sub-channels in each cell which should be allocated among some users. Also, each user is subjected to a power constraint. The underlying problem is a non-convex mixed integer non-linear optimization problem which does not h...
متن کاملDefining a Task's Temporal Domain for Intelligent Calendar Applications
Intelligent calendar assistants have many years ago attracted researchers from the areas of scheduling, machine learning and human computer interaction. However, all efforts have concentrated on automating the meeting scheduling process, leaving personal tasks to be decided manually by the user. Recently, an attempt to automate scheduling personal tasks within an electronic calendar application...
