Abstract: A process is disclosed for implementation on a suitably programmed digital computer for producing a worker staffing plan for an organization over a long-term workload forecast when the organization employs workers of different employment relation types, such as regular employees, both full and part time, and contract employees hired from another concern. Data is entered into the computer pertaining to (a) the work forecast; (b) types of employees, including the productivity, training cost, annual cost and termination cost of each type; (c) demographic data, where available and appropriate, for each type such as worker age and experience or length of service; and (d) attrition or retention data for each employment type by demographic group. A linear programming analysis is then conducted on the computer to produce a hiring and termination schedule for each worker type for each work period to meet the workload requirements of the organization at minimum cost.

Abstract: The notification system identifies media content based on personal preferences of individual users and provides notification of identified media content to the users. In one embodiment, the system (100) includes a number of user nodes (102, 104 and 106) that communicate with a registration site (110) and a notification site (112) via the internet (108). The notification site (112) includes a media content database (120) and a processor (118) running contents election logic. The processor (118) accesses the media content database (120) in order to identify content that may be of interest to particular users of the user nodes (102, 104 and 106). In this regard, content for a particular user may be identified by matching interest information obtained from the registration site (110) with the content information of the media content database (120).
