Project scheduling

It is difficult to determine the expected duration of activities of the project accurately. The triple time estimates give a reliable measure of the project completion period (Collins, 2011). The triple time estimates are used to determine the time, standard deviation and the variance for each activity as well as the entire project. The following formula gives the activity times:
Activity time = (Optimistic time+4×Most likely time+pessimistic time)6
Standard deviation = (Pessimistic time- Optimistic time)6

Network diagram

The above network diagram indicates that the project will be completed in 72.67 days. The total duration of the critical path ...

So far, we have written a program that simulates a media player on FPGA board and plays an audio file. However, in the real world, we require applications that can play a series of songs for a specified period of time. The user need not be bothered about changing or selecting a song for each time he/she wants a new one. For this, we make use of a song scheduling technique which schedules songs as per requirement of the user automatically for a period of time. A scenario can be taken such as that of Radio station where songs have to be played continuously, and there should ...
