Task scheduling with FET algorithm ?

[Sylvain]

Hi,

I'm looking for code or algorithm to integrate into my task scheduler program.
And I would like to know if FET code could be a good start?

My code doesn't need to output a timetable, but it should be able to plan a day or week based on a set of task and constraint.
Specially I need to present a typical day, and recalculate hours or postpone task on demand.

At a given time I would like to be able to answer the "next?" command, which purpose is to peek a task, or some choice of task, in a pool given some constraint.

Tasks may have:
- a fixed time for example a Rendez Vous
- recurring each day in a specific period, ie: a 30min task which should be accomplished between 6:00 to 8:00am
- long task that could be splited, ie: a 8h by day long task, which can be paused, chunk could have a minimum size
- some small task, with dead line or which age require to be accomplished soon or abandoned

I'm trying to setup some task into FET, to see if some interesting result may happen.
But I've to deal with the model...

If you can tell me if I can reuse the constraint solver for my purpose, it would be nice.
If not, could you point me some engine I may use?

Regards,
Sylvain.

Unfortunately, I think you cannot apply the FET algorithm to your problem. It is a different thing and I cannot indicate other programs.
