Abstract

Several modeling extensions recently incorporated in an interactive project scheduling system (GITPASE, Graphical Interactive Technique for Project Analysis, Scheduling and Evaluation) provide a basis for corresponding extensions in interactive PERT simulation. We have developed and are experimenting with an interactive PERT simulator using the GITPASE infrastructure. It allows correlated variation of resource consumptions, resource availability levels, timing changes in availabilities, and timing of exogenous events, added to the traditional Monte-Carlo simulation of activity durations and their consequences. Interactive gaming capabilities are also added, so that a user can react in various ways to conflicts that arise during the simulation.
