[hotproject-devel] scheduling resources (hah! punny!)

[Jamey S. <ja...@sh...>]

So, there's interesting stuff on AI scheduling techniques at CIRL:

http://www.cirl.uoregon.edu/research/scheduling.html

Oddly enough, Bart's among the alumni there.

Anyway, I'm finding "An Approach to Resource Constrained Project
Scheduling", by James Crawford, a useful reference as I ponder a
high-level scheduling interface for hotProject. In particular, on its
first page is a formal definition of this particular scheduling problem,
with all the necessary inputs and outputs.

If any of you are interested in working on the scheduling aspects of
hotProject, I recommend glancing through some of these papers. At least
check out the "Aircraft Assembly" page: it's got pretty pictures.

The only startling thing is how much of this I remember from Bart's
combinatorial search class a year ago...
