Timetable creating as a school project.

[kalvis]

Hello!
In our school we must do year long projects about a problem we choose. I chose timetable creation because our school uses an old and slow system. At first my plan was to start developing a program on my own but when i found fet i didn't see the point of it because there already was one.


I don't know if this is the place to ask questions about it so sorry if I'm not supposed to ask them here.


I want to ask some questions to FET developers to do a chapter in my research with an interview:

1.What was the reason for creating FET timetables?
2.Do you think the problem is solved, or could there be a more efficient and easier way to build timetables.
Is there a program that you know of that creates timetables faster than FET?
3.Do you think the algorhitm could be improved.

Thank you in advance

Hello and welcome to the forum! 

No problem, this is a good place to ask these questions. Me and Volker, we are the authors of FET, and you can ask us questions. I am ready to answer to the interview and I think Volker would like to answer as well (unfortunately he is busy in these times).

Did you use FET with success/insuccess, or not yet?
