[comp.lang.smalltalk] Constraint programming application

dwiggins@atsun.a-t.com (Don Dwiggins) (12/12/89)

While this isn't strictly about Smalltalk, I'm posting it here because of
the constraint programming work that's been done in the language.

I'm looking for constraint-based approaches to the problem of scheduling
a conference, i.e. matching people, sessions, time slots, and rooms under
various constraints (e.g. session X will need a big room for 3 hours;
speaker X isn't available Tuesday afternoon).  Any pointers?
