SCHEDULING WITH SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE SCHEDULING OBJECTIVES

A system for generating task schedules using an electronic device includes: a processor, the processor comprising neural networks; a memory coupled to the processor; a scheduler coupled to the processor, the scheduler is configured to: receive: a total work database configured to contain items representing work packages; a resources database configured to contain items representing resources required to fulfill items in the work packages; a constraints database configured to contain items representing constraints to fulfilling items in the work packages; and a scheduling objective database configured to designate a prime objective that is to be achieved by the optimum task schedule; provide a trained reinforcement learning engine for optimizing the task schedule based on inputs from the databases; and generate an optimum work package schedule to sequence the work packages using the trained reinforcement learning engine, wherein the optimum work package schedule maximizes the one or more prime objectives.
