[comp.sources.wanted] Scheduling

newton@cme.nist.gov (Eric Newton) (01/03/90)

Hi!

I am looking for code, systems or packages to do some resource
scheduling.  The scheduler needs to be flexible and can run on PCs,
Macs, U*ix.

I am looking for something that would allow me to customize it to do a
fair job according to my priorities.

Yeah, I know... simple question, tough answer.  Please, please,
puhleeez respond with any advice/opinions you might have of
public/private/commercial systems you know of.

Many Thanks,

-Eric

I have seen several requests for information regarding scheduling software
but have not seen any follow ups.

I too am looking for any pointers to books, PD software, or anything on
scheduling employees for shift work.  

I remember from some computer science class or another that this one of the
classic NP complete problems but I know that a lot of work has gone
into these types of programs.

I will be glad to summarize and post if there is enough interest.
