Abstract: A project management system is disclosed. The project management system contains a schedule management subsystem and a progress management subsystem. The schedule management subsystem contains a schedule generator and a task assignment notification unit. The schedule generator generates a schedule table from project management information and task status information. The task assignment notification unit sends task assignment notices in accordance with the schedule table. The progress management subsystem, in communication with the schedule management subsystem, contains a task deadline controller and a deadline notification unit. The task deadline controller establishes a deadline control table in accordance with the task duration data. The deadline notification unit sends a deadline notice in accordance with the task deadline control table.

Abstract: A method and database structure are disclosed for generating a set of technology files for fabricating semiconductor devices using a first technology using a repository of technology files. The technology files help to implement fabrication processes. First, a first set of virtual technology files are created pertaining to the first technology, then a second set of virtual technology files pertaining to a second technology are identified. The second set of virtual technology files are linked to a predetermined set of actual files in the repository. If it is determined that the first and the second technologies are similar to each other, one or more links of the second set of virtual technology files are copied to generate corresponding links for a first subset of virtual technology files of the first set if the first and second technologies allow the corresponding actual files to be shared.
