Resource Scheduling and Monitoring
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented resource scheduling system comprising:
- a set of resources and associated attributes;
at least one calendar representing dates for resource utilization;
at least one slot representing demand for one or more individual resource items;
a set of resource constraints generated based on the at least one calendar and the at least one slot; and
a scheduling module for generating a schedule of resource utilization that satisfies at least a subset of the resource constraints.

Abstract
A resource scheduling system includes a set of resources and associated resource attributes, a representation of resource demands, and a scheduling module for generating a schedule of resource utilization. The representation of resource demands and availability may include information about time slots, calendars, and shifts. A slot is a representation of a demand for one or more individual item. A calendar is a representation of dates when resources are needed. Each shift represents a set of time intervals of resource demands. Additionally, the system keeps track of individual resource availability and preferences and attempts to create a resource utilization schedule that satisfies all constraints generated based on the time slots, calendars, shifts, and resource schedules.

27. A computer-implemented method for resource utilization scheduling, said method comprising:
-
recording information about a set of resource items; associating attributes with the set of resource items; recording demand information about the set of resource items; generating constraints based on the demand information; and generating a schedule of resource utilization based on the generated constraints. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
