The Technical Coordination Unit (TCU) at the University of Perugia, led by Alfredo Milani, is dedicated to advancing the application of Planning and Scheduling (P&S) for web-based systems and services. This initiative explores the role of P&S as a crucial element in the evolving landscape of information technologies, aiming to support flexibility and new modalities of work, commerce, and education. With various actions like workshops and conferences, the TCU encourages collaboration among IT companies, focusing on technology transfer and addressing emerging market needs.
