Automated job scheduling based on resource availability
Each job is defined in terms of the tasks / services required to do the jobs, using resources needed to carry out those tasks / services at different times during a scheduling period. Each available resource needed for each task / service is associated with a job ID and different start times for a job, forming proposals. The proposals are preferably created prior to the time that any appointments are made to do the job. If an appointment time requested by a customer to have the job done is available among the proposals created, the appointment is scheduled using the proposal. As each appointment is scheduled, changed, or canceled, the available proposals for the job are automatically modified to reflect the changes in the time that each resource is available to do the tasks / services required for the job.

Systems and methods for the schedule alignment of a packet flow
A classification mechanism automatically aligns time-sensitive data streams to sequences (schedules), according to information in the packets or other information and classification criteria specified by a human network administrator, a sequence agent, an application program or otherwise. When a packet arrives at a first sequence-aware switch along a path, the packet is aligned to a new or existing sequence. When a new sequence is established, appointments are reserved at sequence-aware switches along the path. The packet is placed in a queue, based on its classification. When the packet reaches the head of the queue, at that queue's appointment time, the switch forwards the packet along the path. If possible, appointments have been reserved at subsequent switches along the packet's path, so the packet can be forwarded through the subsequent switches without delay. Packets that do not match any classification criteria are handled on a best-effort basis.

ActiveUS8477616B1Reduce needGuaranteed bandwidthError preventionTransmission systemsAppointment timeTopology information
A system using scheduled times for transmission at each link guarantees bandwidth for transmitting data across a packet network. A scheduling agent determines availability of data paths across a network according to pre-selected criteria and real-time network topology information. Precise schedules are determined for transmission and reception appointments for data packets to traverse each link and switch in the network including compensation for transmission delays and switch latencies, resulting in a fixed packet flow itinerary for each connection. Itineraries are communicated to schedule-aware switches and endpoints and appointment times are reserved for transmission of the scheduled data packets. Scheduled packets arriving at each switch are forwarded according to their predetermined arrival and departure schedules, rather than their headers or contents, relieving the switches from making real-time routing decisions. Any unscheduled transmission times remain available for routing of unscheduled packets according to their IP headers. Real-time transmission of data can be guaranteed in each scheduled path, and schedule selection criteria may be adjusted according to network utilization and tolerable setup delay and end-to-end delay.
