Abstract

Today, no context enables planners to communicate all the information necessary to evaluate a schedule. This thesis work looks at how we can use the 4D (3D + time) context to communicate and interact with descriptive, predictive, and explanative planning content by focusing on three aspects of the design of 4D contexts: 1) Defining the interactions between the elements of a 4D context and between the 4D content and the users; 2) Extending the current representation of planning content to generate these 4D contexts; and 3) Specifying and applying performance criteria to evaluate alternative 4D contexts.
