Abstract:
companies have employees on the road to visit clients, service customer
or deliver goods.
of these client contacts are planned far in advance with great time margins.
has experiences of making appointments with a service company and
to take a day off work to wait for the repairman to show up.
the service center and asking for a more precise schedule is a waste of
the same way, many of us have also encountered the problem from the
point of view when you have an appointment with someone elsewhere
all the things that can go wrong.
conditions are hopeless and previous appointments tend to take
than expected (or appointments are at least not very predictable).
are two problems that one can determine from the description above.
that visibility of processes taking place outside the office (in terms of who
doing what) is poor and the other is that the planning and control of the
part of outdoor trips is guesswork.
utilizing the features of JINI technology tries to facilitate the aboveproblem.
