Re: [Neo4j] Optimal Seating plan problem

David,
I think this problem falls into the category of graph algos. It seems
there is some research required to get a suitable solution. Have you
done some investigations yourself and can point the community to
starting points, so people might have an easier time to get ideas?

Cheers,

 Hi All,

 I have an interesting problem I am trying to solve and would like some
 direction on how I could solve it using Neo4j.

 I work in a large building where the teams of developers are all over the
 places and we would like to keep teams together. So I would like to solve
 2 problems hopefully at the same time. Assuming a have a Neo4j database of
 all employees, the reporting relationships and who the work with and also
 the seating location as a property I would like to calculate
 The optimal seating plan that would have all team co-located and beside
 their manager and
 Doing that with the least amount of moves for the computer department that
 actually need to the physical computers and phones etc.

 Is this that kind of problem that Neo4j could help solve, I think yes
 based on a basic knowledge of graph databases, but perhaps someone could
 give me some guidance on the suitability of Neo4j and a possible solution.

 Thanks

 Dave
