Scheduling Problem A Project by Andrew Hutcheson with Advice from Mark Bailey
Choosing Courses • No two chosen courses can meet at the same time • Any prerequisites the chosen courses have must be satisfied • The chosen courses should help satisfy future prerequisites
MWF 09:00-09:50 [ 540 , 590 ] , [ 3420 , 3470 ] , [ 6300 , 6350 ] A Meeting is a structure with fields start and end. Two Meetings, A and B are in conflict if and only if : A.start < B.endand A.end > B.start
Vertices represent Courses. • An edge A -> B indicates that A requires B
CS 348 requires CS 243 and PHYSICS 180 or PHYSICS 230 How do we represent this?
Add a integer field, r (number required), to each vertex • Specify a second type of vertex, Goal, that- • Is reached as soon as requirements are met • Is not associated with any Course
