Overview: The ability to re-sequence activities is a critical task for project planners for effective project control. Re-sequencing activities requires planners to determine the impact or "Role" an activity has on following activities. They also need to determine which activities may or may not be delayed. Distinguishing the role and "Status" of activities in turn requires planners to understand the rationale for activity sequences. Planners thus find it difficult to keep track of individual sequencing logic, and manually inferring the role and status of activities becomes practically prohibitive in complex project schedules. The research introduced in this paper addresses the limitation of the CPM (Critical Path Method) framework by formalizing a constraint ontology and classification mechanism.
