their presentations and discussions on previous work in the areas of distributed construction, transportation, meeting, and manufactunng scheduling. The Schedule Evaluation panel was headed by Eric Biefeld of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The highlight of the panel was a one viewgraph presentation by John Jaap of NASA MSFC. John presented a graphical representation of the parties involved in the scheduling process and the various "complaints" of each party. John asserted that the schedule with the fewest complaints was best. The main discussions focused on the problems of representing the "value" of a schedule since many attributes of a "good" schedule are extremely difficult to quantify. At the end of day three, the participants submitted suggested topics for future research and development. Methods for schedule analysis, evaluation, and conflict resolution were rated highly by timeline engineers. State constrained and distributed scheduling were identified as the most challenging objectives by technologists. Mark Gersh and Mel Montemerlo concluded the meeting by reviewing the results of this year's workshop, plans for future research, and to plan next year's meeting to be held at the Kennedy Space Center. Post-workshop meetings focused on plans for the development and distribution of requirements and benchmark data.
