Hello,
Please can the community tell me if Drools Planner/Optaplanner is the best
tool to use for the problem described below:
1. For a list of items, I assign a point depending on the value of each
item. For different values of an item, I will assign a different point (kind
of on a rule basis i.e. if value = A, then assign 3 points, if value = B,
then assign 9 points etc)
2. I multiply the points assigned to each item by a weight.
3. I sum the total number of weighted points and divide by the sum of the
weights (basically, I compute the weight average).
Is Drools Planner the right tool to use here or is it better to use Drools
Expert?
>From looking at the Drools Planner documentation, it looks like an
optimisation tool and I am not really doing any optimising here. I am just
calculating a value based on some rules.
Since you're not trying to maximize or
minimize that average (by
choosing the item values as optimal as possible for example),
this doesn't sound like an OptaPlanner problem.
Drools Expert should be good for this indeed :)
Regards.
