SUBJECT TERMS (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) Project Scheduling, uncertainty, Automatic Deadline Adjustment 19. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) We have developed a heuristic scheduling method suitable for automatically scheduling tasks in a software development effort and assigning them to designers. Our experimental evaluations of the algorithm show that it is highly effective at finding feasible schedules when they exist. A modification of the algorithm can suggest nearly minimal adjustments to the deadlines in cases where no feasible schedule exists. This is useful because it provides guidance to the project manager for formulating aproper response when a project gets late and all of the planned tasks cannot be completed with their deadlines. The algorithms are fast enough to support constant rescheduling as circumstances change, for most projects of practical size. 20.

However, in most African countries, censuses and surveys have taken the place of civil registration while they should normally be a complement. A regional assessment study in 44 African countries indicates that CRVS systems are still undeveloped although recent initiates are promising to revitalize these systems that started during colonial periods in some of the countries. Many of the African countries have either conducted comprehensive CRVS assessments or are in the preparations. This is useful in taking stock of their status so that they can scale up the system after correcting some of the challenges that have been hampering. Findings indicate that the demand for civil registration documents as well as vital statistics is still low, a reason that could be also hampering CRVS in Africa. The study notes the regional initiatives through APAI-CRVS and the Medium Term Plan (2010-2015) that are promising a developed system in the near future. A web-based online platform has been developed at the Secretariat for African countries to keep track of their progress in the implementation of CRVS systems.
