Scheduling group meetings requires access to participants' calendars, typically located in scattered pockets or desks. Placing participants' calendars on-line and using a rule-based scheduler to find a time slot would alleviate the problem to some extent, but it often is difficult to trust the results, because correct scheduling rules are elusive, varying with the participants and the agenda of a particular meeting. What's needed is a comprehensive scheduling system that summarizes the available information for quick, flexible, and reliable scheduling. We have developed a prototype of a priority-based, graphical scheduling system called Visual Scheduler (VS).
A controlled experiment comparing automatic scheduling with VS to manual scheduling demonstrated the former to be faster and less error prone. A field study conducted over six weeks at the UNC-CH Computer Science Department showed VS to be a generally useful system and provided valuable feedback on ways to enhance the functionality of the system to increase its value as a groupwork tool. In particular, users found priority-based time-slots and access to scheduling decision reasoning advantageous. VS has been in use by more than 75 faculty, staff, and graduate students since Fall 1987.
安排小组会议需要访问参与者的日历,这些日历通常位于分散的口袋或桌子中。在线放置参与者的日历并使用基于规则的计划程序来查找时隙可以在某种程度上缓解该问题,但是通常很难相信结果,因为正确的计划规则难以捉摸,随参与者和特定会议的议程。需要一个全面的计划系统,该系统汇总可用信息以进行快速,灵活和可靠的计划。我们已经开发了一种称为Visual Scheduler(VS)的基于优先级的图形调度系统的原型。 P>
一个将自动调度与VS与手动调度进行比较的受控实验表明,前者速度更快,出错率更低。在UNC-CH计算机科学系进行的为期六周的现场研究表明,VS是一个普遍有用的系统,并且就增强系统功能以增加其作为团队合作工具的价值的方式提供了宝贵的反馈。特别地,用户发现基于优先级的时隙和对调度决策推理的访问是有利的。自1987年秋季以来,已经有75多个教职员工和研究生使用VS。 P>
