  • Patent number: 6335733
    Abstract: A method and system for displaying a resource schedule containing a plurality of objects in an N-level multiple hierarchy all of which objects are subject to a common dependency, comprising the steps of allocating different non-overlapping areas of a display device for each level of the resource schedules, and graphically displaying each level of the resource schedule in the respective area of the display device in synchronized relationship on a common axis representative of the common dependency. Editing tools are provided for allowing objects of the same level to be interchanged, objects of a given level i (where i<N) to be inserted into an object of a higher level (i+1), and objects of a given level i (where i>1) to be disassembled into an object of a lower level (i−1). The method and system are particularly suited for constructing and editing crew pairings for airlines and allow simple and efficient on-line, interactive manipulation of resources.
