Free the world from wasteful scheduling with Timefold AI
Timefold Solver is an open source library to optimize planning and scheduling problems. It's the continuation of OptaPlanner.
The world is full of planning problems, such as vehicle routing, employee rostering, maintenance scheduling, job shop scheduling and school timetabling. They are “NP-hard”. That’s math speak for “challenging to solve optimally”. In the session, we’ll show you how to solve them easily with Timefold, an Apache Licensed AI solver for Kotlin.
In this session, I'll explain the challenges, discuss the algorithms and live code some of the constraints.
