Yep, I am gonna implement the contest examples of itc2007:
  http://www.cs.qub.ac.uk/itc2007/
They are nicely documented, use a lot of data and deal with lesson scheduling etc.

And of course, it would be cool to win the contest with drools-solver :)

With kind regards,
Geoffrey De Smet

I think there are plans to have some examples people can relate too. Luckily for planning this is easier than rules. So we can setup an example for exame time table planning, and availability rostering. Those sort of things. I believe that is planned.

Geoffrey,

In a bizarre co-incidence I had just finished reading the Drools solver docs. It's very good - it's taken one of the ideas that I'd been mulling over and implemented it a (good) way that makes me realise I'm hardly out of Kindergarten with this stuff :-)

One comment on the documentation; I know you explain what the NQueens problem is (about 1/4 of the way down in the documentation), but is it possible to move the explanation beside the NQueens Diagram (which appears very early in the article), and which people like me who aren't familiar with NQueens will want to understand?

The other comment is to push what Drools solver can do to the top of the manual (e.g.the Timetabling , routing problems) to make people sit up and listen to what the technology can do.

It might be good to blow your own trumpet a bit more and explain why the (Rule based) solver is better / faster than a 'code your own' solution.

Just remember the rest of us after you make your first million - running this to solve the problem of 'what sort of shares should I buy?' :-)

    Drools-solver solves planning problems.
    It has moved to trunk and the reference manual is now available at:
    http://users.telenet.be/geoffrey/tmp/solver/manual/html_single/
    <http://users.telenet.be/geoffrey/tmp/solver/manual/html_single/>
    It's still experimental though.

    We even made 2 blogs about it for the price of one:
    http://blog.athico.com/2007/09/drools-solver.html

    Have fun.
