System and Method for Resource Allocation

A computer-implemented method for scheduling an event, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to allocate a desired plurality of resources to an event, wherein the request specifies a time interval within which the desired plurality of resources are to be allocated, and wherein the desired plurality of resources comprises a first one or more resources and a second one or more resources;
• obtaining resource importance data indicative of a relative importance of at least one of the first one or more resources and the second one or more resources;
• obtaining resource availability data indicative of an availability of the first one or more resources during the time interval;
• determining that at least one of the first one or more resources is of a greater importance than the second one or more resources;
• determining, based on the resource availability data, a time period for the event during the time interval, wherein the first one or more resources are available at the time period and the second one or more resources are unavailable at the time period;
• and
• allocating the first one or more resources to the time period.

A computer-implemented method for scheduling an event, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to allocate one or more resources to an event, wherein the request specifies a time interval within which the one or more resources are to be allocated, and wherein the one or more resources comprise one or more persons;
• obtaining resource availability data indicative of an availability of the one or more resources during the time interval;
• determining, based on the resource availability data, a time period for the event during the time interval, comprising:
• providing, to the one or more persons, one or more time period options during the time interval;
• receiving one or more indications of one or more preferred time periods, wherein the one or more indications are based on one or more inputs by at least one of the one or more persons in response to the provision of the one or more time period options;
• and
• determining the time period based on the received one or more indications of the one or more preferred time periods;
• and
• allocating the one or more resources to the time period.

A computer-implemented method for scheduling an event, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to allocate one or more resources to an event, wherein the request specifies a time interval within which the one or more resources are to be allocated;
• obtaining resource availability data indicative of an availability of the one or more resources during the time interval;
• and
• determining, based on the resource availability data, a time period for the event during the time interval;
• allocating the one or more resources to the time period;
• obtaining updated resource availability data indicative of an updated availability of the one or more resources during the time period;
• determining, based on the updated resource availability, an updated time period for the event during the time interval, comprising:
• determining, based on the updated resource availability data, that at least one of the one is unavailable at the previous time period;
• determining, based on the updated resource availability data that the at least one of the one or more resources is available at one or more other time periods, wherein each of the one or more other time periods is within the time interval;
• and
• setting the updated time period to be one of the one or more other time periods;
• and
• allocating the one or more resources to the updated time period.

A computer-implemented method for scheduling an event, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to allocate one or more resources to an event, wherein the request specifies a time interval within which the one or more resources are to be allocated;
• obtaining resource availability data indicative of an availability of the one or more resources during the time interval;
• obtaining expected location data indicative of an expected location of at least a. portion of the one or more resources during the time interval;
• determining, based on the resource availability data and the expected location data, a time period for the event during the time interval, comprising:
• determining one or more time periods during the time interval at which the one or more resources are proximate to each other;
• and
• setting the time period for the event to one of the one or more time periods;
• and
• allocating the one or more resources to the time period.
