Abstract

A graph‐based approach for scheduling and monitoring temporal events and activities in a system engineering project is presented. It attempts to overcome some of the limitations of traditional project management approaches by allowing specifications of real‐time milestones, and by breaking the finish‐start barrier between the activities. An example of a residential construction project is used to illustrate the approach. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng
