Resource scheduling in adaptive radiation therapy planning

A method of managing a resource adapted to be implement by a processor, wherein a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

• receive input data including one or more characteristics of at least one work object and comprising context data, the at least one work object to be processed by one or more processing devices (Mij), the said processing being specified in a respective work specification;
• create a convolutional neural network (CNN) model by training input data to predict, based on the input data, a change to the respective work specification;
• determine when a plan adaptation is required based on a work specification;
• and
• provide output data that represents the change to the respective work specification, wherein the output data indicate when, during a treatment, the plan adaption will occur.
