Abstract

In various embodiments, a scheduling application automatically determines the timing of linearly dependent events. In operation, the scheduling application detects that a first event included in an original scheduled sequence of events has not completed by a scheduled completion time based on a current time. The scheduling application then determines that a second event included in the original scheduled sequence of events has a dependency on the completion of the first event. Subsequently, the scheduling application updates one or more temporal properties associated with the second event based on the current time to generate a third event. The scheduling application then generates, via a processor, a modified scheduled sequence of events that includes the third event instead of the second event. Advantageously, automatically adjusting the timing of linear dependent events based on the current time reduces inefficiencies associated with conventional scheduling techniques.
