Abstract

See full text

A resource assignment system provides mixed-initiative updates of a user interface display in response to asynchronous events independently triggering updates. The system features an update module capable of selecting one of a plurality of diverse update modes based on system user input and additional criteria relating to each update. The update modes enable the system user to develop an update behavior appropriate for her individual circumstances. Selection of an update behavior can prevent disruption of the system user's work, producing an appearance of interface stability without sacrificing near real-time response to asynchronous events.
