Abstract

On knowledge information processing and especially in a plan making system such as a system for generating schedule diagrams of trains and personnel, it becomes necessary to make or modify a plan by using a plurality of work stations when the plan becomes large-sized. At this time, the work stations are provided with equal plan making function. Thus, the work stations can divide planning responsibilities. Further, work stations are provided with priorities. Thus, management of competition among a plurality of work stations is facilitated and overhead caused by communication among a plurality of devices is reduced.
