The general problems to be solved
by the Scheduler are the following:
- to provide a reliable and easy to use tool that
generates a class schedule which meets all necessary constraints and is fair
to the faculty
- to provide a secure group environment that manages a
collection of individual professor preferences for the purposes creating a
schedule to meet their preferences
- to save a ‘local’ copies of the global databases for
each schedule to make them all independent of one another
- an easy method to save and retrieve old schedules for
historical information needed by the scheduler
- to provide a method for student feedback of certain
professors, classes, or class times when these aspects can still be changed,
not after the fact
While some of
these problems have been solved by a number of commercially available products,
the Scheduler provides a solution with certain functional improvements over
existing tools.
