Hello, Is there anything done in SchoolTool towards this? there's always a puzzle to make up timetable... I think the need emerges together with the wish/need to make curriculum more flexible. What do You and your known school administrators think? Is there a need for it in SchoolTool?
ps.: I am from Lithuania, bachelour of applied math, We had "Mathematical programming (optimization)" by cool old proffesor Jonas Mockus http://mockus.org/optimum/ (the root site seem to belong to his son or so) He develops the idea of school scedule optimization (using Bayesian heuristics) for more than five years.. now there is kind of clumsy implementation in java, done bys students over years, but it lacks nice UI and might also lack functionality. integration with ST and probable rewrite in python might do some good :) latest papers on it I found http://itc.ktu.lt/itc342/Pupelie342.pdf http://www.vtex.lt/informatica/htm/INFO355.htm Best regards -- Jurgis Pralgauskis jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; skype: dz0rdzas; Don't worry, be happy :) and make things better ;) _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
