Towards a planning board generator

摘要

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 specification 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 this paper we discuss our view of a planning board generator and introduce a method to specify problem instances and types.
