Definition: In temporal planning and scheduling formalisms, a timepoint whose execution time is controlled by the agent or scheduler, rather than determined by an uncontrollable contingent process [Eder et al. 2024].
Example in context: “We assume a separate thread is assigned to an executable timepoint X to manage its activation.” [Bit-Monnot, Morris 2023]
