Abstract
A per-station start time scheduler identifies a station that is unavailable to perform a task over a time interval. The scheduler identifies a plurality of stations and a start time of a task. The scheduler monitors each of the plurality of stations using a station time constraint corresponding to the task. Upon detecting that a station is unavailable to perform a task over a time interval, the scheduler sends a notification specifying the station that is unavailable to perform the task.
