Action-based union of the temporal opposites and elastic activity network in scheduling

It is the time resource that one deals with in scheduling. The task is how one can achieve the optimal allocation of a given time resource over a set of assigned activities. Most of the existing scheduling methods use a parametric time by which the activities are orderly allocated in accordance with the order of events. The parametric methods however fail in incorporating a dynamic aspect of scheduling that unfolds itself as the project proceeds as well as inerasable uncertainty in activities whose starting and ending nodes fluctuate. This paper reformulates the concept of time to match to a dynamic scheduling through a non-deterministic modeling of scheduling as a “mapped/represented” and “transformed/processed” temporal movement. It will be shown that an elastic interpretation of activity fluctuation can be derived naturally from the model, which allows us to develop an elastic network method for scheduling.
