Slot allocation

Slot allocation is the process of assigning specific time periods or "slots" for different events, tasks, or services to occur. In various contexts like airports, it manages takeoffs and landings to prevent congestion; in computing, it schedules tasks for processing. By organizing these slots, efficiency is improved, conflicts are minimized, and resources are used effectively. Essentially, slot allocation ensures that multiple activities can coexist smoothly by defining clear, scheduled windows for each, optimizing overall flow and productivity.
