It is a really narrow problem space I'm not familiar with. I presume this isn't about scheduling, but about UI and usability? Anything people-centric will become the bottleneck, so apart from automatic program generation you can only use systems observe users in action (machine vision) and find something that maximizes some observable metric. Of course extracting metrics from behaving people is a hard problem on its own right, but it if solved it *will* make things happen faster, and it will have considerable applicability elsewhere. But this is really a pathological case. Most problems are computationally bound, especially if you consider problem specification and implementation. People just want solutions, and an interactive way to refine the problem until a good enough solution emerges would work for them. I would also like machines to become persons. It's not everything always about us primates. _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
