Abstract
An improved algorithm for determining the number of task orderings for a set of tasks and precedence constraints is presented. Precedence graphs are used to represent the tasks and constraints. A subgraph replacement strategy acts as an oracle in determining the exact number of task orderings for a class of NX-fold graphs. For non-NX-fold graphs the oracle computes, in low-order polynomial time, bounds on the number of orders
