Abstract: A method and a computing apparatus for generating a personal financial plan are provided. The method includes: receiving a first input that includes information about an initial financial state of an individual person; receiving a second input that includes information about a goal financial state of the individual person; receiving a third input about financial habits of the individual person; defining a set of available user actions, each respective available user action being assigned a corresponding probability that indicates a likelihood that the individual person successfully performs the respective available user action; determining, based on the defined set of available user actions and heuristics designed to maximize a likelihood of execution, proposed sequences of potential user actions by which the goal financial state is achievable; and calculating, for each proposed sequence, a respective likelihood score that indicates a corresponding feasibility of a successful completion thereof.

Abstract: A method and a computing apparatus for allocating space in a building are provided. The method includes: receiving a first input that includes information that relates to a plurality of persons that intend to occupy the building; receiving a second input that includes information that relates to building specifications; receiving a third input that includes information that relates to constraints that are mandatory and preferences that are not mandatory; and determining, based on each of the first input, the second input, and the third input, an allocation of each person to a corresponding space within the building and a respective schedule for each person to occupy the corresponding space. The determination of the allocation and the respective schedule may be effected by applying an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that is configured to satisfy all of the mandatory constraints and to optimize a satisfaction of the preferences.

Abstract: A method for optimizing personnel utilization is provided. The method includes: accessing first task management planning information that relates to a first project that has not been completed; using the accessed first task management planning information to identify a plurality of tasks to be performed in connection with the first project and to identify a plurality of persons to be assigned to respective tasks; retrieving historical task management information that relates to at least one project that has been completed; and adjusting at least a first portion of the first task management planning information based on the retrieved historical task management information.

Abstract: A method for generating schedules for a group of persons within a common workspace is provided. The method includes: receiving a first user input that relates to employee preferences; receiving a second user input that relates to at least one manager preference; receiving a third user input that relates to business constraints; generating, based on the received first, second, and third user inputs, a respective schedule for each corresponding group member; and outputting each respective schedule to a user interface for display thereon. The method may also include generating a set of metrics that corresponds to the employee preferences.
