[rules-users] [planner] curriculum course timetable modeling questions

Hi, I am a newbie and am currently in the process of evaluating the drools solver module for generating a timetable. I have couple of questions in this regard... 1. I have two curriculums (Grade 1 - A, Grade 1 - B) and would like to allocate a single room for all courses under a curriculum. How do I specify this constraint? 2. Currently the rules are specified for a single week (i.e. period / time slot list). How do I specify this for an entire year, does it mean I have to create additional period / time slot lists for the entire year. 3. There are 5 days and 3 periods per day (i.e. 15 sessions per week) and we have 6 common subjects and a separate course (German, French) specific to the curriculum, assuming we equally distribute the load (i.e. if I want all the courses to be atleast twice a week and just the separate courses (German, French) to be thrice a week, what should be the lesson size. Env: I have installed drools-5.0-solver and verifying the above attached XML via the curriculumcourse sample data. -jd
