| 1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
(a) the computer instantiating a first set of one or more random variables, that model one or more uncertain time durations
associated with one or more respective processes occurring in a first schedule, to determine one or more first instantiated
values;
(b) the computer instantiating a second set of one or more random variables, corresponding to constraints on one or more event
dates in the first schedule, to determine one or more second instantiated values;
(c) the computer resolving the event dates in the first schedule using the first and second instantiated values, wherein said
resolving respects a user-defined ordering of the one or more processes; and
(d) the computer displaying a visual representation of at least the first schedule, wherein the visual representation includes
an indication of the resolved event dates.
