Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling collaboration for planning changes to a communications network are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes receiving a first branch of a provisional plan, where the first branch includes information regarding a change to at least one of a network element and services to be provided by the network element. The method also includes receiving a second branch of the provisional plan, where the second branch includes information regarding a change to at least one of the network element and the services to be provided by the network element. The method also includes determining if the first branch and the second branch are compatible with each other. In response to determining that merging the second branch with the first branch would create a conflict, the method further includes providing a resolution to the conflict.

Abstract: Scalable task scheduling systems and methods for cyclic interdependent tasks using semantic analysis include, for a software application including a plurality of tasks which are cyclic interdependent tasks, segmenting the plurality of tasks into a task graph with vertices including the plurality of tasks and edges including interdependencies between the plurality of tasks; processing the task graph into a dependency graph which is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG); and causing execution of the plurality of tasks in a parallel manner based on the dependency graph.
