This paper describes the shape processing approach to the schedule problem. Many methods are proposed for the schedule problem until now. However, it is very difficult to apply these methods to solve or optimize the problem, if its condition is changed widely or during the course of processing. The method proposed here increases the flexibility using shape processing.
The system utilizes the Coded Boundary Representation (CBR) method which was developed as the geometric model. The CBR method has several features. For example, the model can be represented in the form of lists, and topological features can be easily extracted. It is believed to provide a very useful tool for solving the schedule problem.
