Priori scheduling of multiple assets within a collection of asset delivery opportunities

A method comprising:

• for a current asset delivery opportunity of a plurality of asset delivery opportunities:
• determining if the current asset delivery opportunity already has a maximum number of assets assigned to it;
• moving to a next asset delivery opportunity if the current asset delivery opportunity already has the maximum number of assets assigned to it;
• and
• if the current asset delivery opportunity does not already have the maximum number of assets assigned to it, ordering a plurality of assets by priority, and, in turn, for each current asset of the plurality of assets not already assigned to one of the plurality of asset delivery opportunities:
• calculating an increase in impression deliveries predicted for the current asset if it were added to those already assigned to the current asset delivery opportunity;
• if the increase would put total deliveries for the current asset over a daily pacing associated with the current asset, considering a next asset without assigning the current asset;
• if the increase would not put total deliveries for the current asset over a daily pacing associated with the current asset, calculating a number of impression deliveries predicted for each asset that would be assigned to the current asset delivery opportunity;
• if the calculated number of impression deliveries predicted for any asset is below a required minimum proportion of a global constraint, considering a next asset without assigning the current asset;
• and
• if no calculated number of impression deliveries predicted for any asset is below a required minimum proportion of a global constraint, scheduling the current asset into the current asset delivery opportunity.
