<
algorithm> The assignment of start and end times to a set of
tasks, subject to certain
constraints. Constraints are
typically either time constraints (the payload must be
installed before the payload bay doors are closed) or resource
constraints (this
task requires a small crane and a crane
operator).
In the case where the tasks are programs to run concurrently
on a computer, this is also known as
multitasking.
