Abstract: A method for handling the automated transferal of project level data to the various entities involved in such project which may be one of several projects within the control of each entity. Project level data may be coded, extracted and conveyed to one or more of several entities involved in a project in a format permitting notification of upper levels of management of each specific entity or summarization within the hierarchy of projects within the enterprise structure of each specific entity. Similarly, project level data may be imported and sequestered within the database for the project such that such data may be used for calculations or reports relating to that project without permitting unauthorized access to such data to the entities involved in the project.

Abstract: A method for providing “best” solutions of NP-complete problems. A plurality of algorithms are provided for solving the NP-complete problem, the problem is automatically solved using the provided algorithms and a best solution is selected based on application of predetermined criteria. In one embodiment, scheduling of large or complex projects utilizing limited resources is performed using the method of the invention. Algorithms are provided based on information relating to the constraints of limited resources overlain upon a logic network of restraints between events and activities in a sequence to model the real world. The generated rule sets can be applied to generate multiple schedules from which a particular schedule may be selected. A system for implementation of the method using a computer and a computer program is also provided.
