Employing interactivity and visualization to augment the process of machine-based rescheduling

Based on experiences in the design and construction of interactive resource reallocation systems, the authors argue about the advisability of interactive visualization as a means to increase the effectiveness of an intelligent system and present a generic framework for solving rescheduling problems. The reasoning process, within the proposed framework, emerges from the continuous collaboration of machine intelligence and user expertise. A short presentation of a flight rescheduling system serves as the main implementation example of the proposed paradigm
