After some thinking I think a more complete solution to over-utilization would be: 1-Add a property to each task (can be overlapped, cannot be overlapped). 2-If task cannot be overlapped, use the "priority" property to schedule it with respect to other tasks using the same resource, use any-order for tasks with same priority. 3-For tasks with SAME PRIORITY that can be overlapped, extend the duration of the tasks so that the total time spent on the task by resource adds up to his full time commitment. example: tasks A and B (each taking one day) should both be done by resource R, If tasks A and B are overlap-able, then show the duration as two days for each. In this context, overlap-able tasks with same priority form a "super-task" that can be scheduled using its priority with respect to other non-overlap-able tasks for the same resource. Thanks for reading my comments and I look forward to your feedback. Sasan
