Thanks for the ideas.  I did know about these possibilities.  What I am having 
trouble with is actually implementing them.
Could you give me a small example of each?  I would really, really, appreciate 
it.


Hi,

generally, you have 2 possibilities.

The first is to constrain the task start so that the task can not intersect the interval (e.g. using the \=: operator). You know the task length, so no problem here.

The other option is even easier: create an artificial fixed task that occupies the resource during the outage.

Cheers,
Filip

/ Hi All,
/>/ />/ I have been studying very hard and have finally created an application />/ that will schedule tasks in oz. What is confusing me is how to do the />/ following: />/ />/ 1. Don't schedule tasks for a certain time frame on a particular />/ resource (Either because the resource is down for repairs/unavailable or />/ because a task has already been started and needs to finish) />/ />/ The lines that deal with this in my code are: />/ />/ fun {Compile Problem}
/>/     TaskSpec = Problem.tasks
/>/     Dur = {GetDur TaskSpec}
/>/     TestVal =  10
/>/     TestVal2 = 15
/>/   in
/>/     proc {$ Start}
/>/     Start={GetStart TaskSpec}
/>/     {ForAll TaskSpec
/>/     proc {$ T}
/>/        {ForAll {CondSelect T pre nil}
/>/        proc {$ P}
/>/          Start.P + Dur.P =<: Start.{Label T}
/>/          TestVal =<: Start.{Label T}
/>/          TestVal =<: Start.P
/>/ %%          Start.P + Dur.P =<: TestVal2
/>/ %%          Start.P \=: TestVal
/>/ %%          Start.P \=: TestVal2
/>/        end}
/>/     end}
/>/ {Record.forAll Start proc {$ S}
/>/                         S={FD.reflect.min S}
/>/                          end}
/>/     end
/>/ />/ end />/ />/ I can get it to start from a certain point or not schedule after a />/ certain point, but I can't figure out how to make the constraints such />/ that tasks will be scheduled before a reserved time frame and after. />/ Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. By the way I am very />/ impressed with mozart oz. I am somewhat of a newbie to constraint />/ programming but this made it easy to begin./
