[rules-users] Re: Drools-solver

[Geoffrey De Smet]

Yep, I am gonna implement the contest examples of itc2007:
   http://www.cs.qub.ac.uk/itc2007/
They are nicely documented, use a lot of data and deal with lesson 
scheduling etc.

And of course, it would be cool to win the contest with drools-solver :)

With kind regards,
Geoffrey De Smet
