An Automatic Distributed Calendar and Appointment System
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a short overview of a prototype version of a fully distributed calendar and appointment system implemented on a network of workstations. We describe the software architecture, the appointment scheduling strategies and heuristics, the distributed implementation language, and the graphical user interface. The motivations for the realization of the system within a distributed systems research project are also discussed.

Multi-Calendar Appointment Scheduling: Calendar Modeling and Constraint Reasoning
This article proposes a framework to model and reason on what we call multi-calendar appointment scheduling problems. Multicalendar appointment scheduling problems such as planning a phone conference of three persons in France, Tunisia, and Japan refer to various temporal conditions, involving arbitrary calendric types such as months (Islamic months are defined differently from Gregorian months...

متن کاملA Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement
The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
متن کاملBayes Networks and Fault Tree Analysis Application in Reliability Estimation (Case Study: Automatic Water Sprinkler System)
In this study, the application of Bayes networks and fault tree analysis in reliability estimation have been investigated. Fault tree analysis is one of the most widely used methods for estimating reliability. In recent years, a method called "Bayes Network" has been used, which is a dynamic method, and information about the probable failure of the system components will be updated according to...
