Resource planning

Joachim Kirkegaard Friis

AbstractThe goal of the thesis is to implement a proof of concept for teachers on DTU to get information about course allocations and the ability to get their course allocated. The allocations should work on a resource planning model. This model should try to achieve to satisfy given soft constraints and should still not contain any conflicts with the hard constraints. The soft constraints is that the distance between a given allocated lecture and exercise rooms should be as short as possible.
The implementation was done in the .NET framework using the ModelViewControl pattern, which enables the easy use of F# for the model implementation. The view and control was implemented in XAML and C# within a usual WPF application environment.
The sheer size of data caused difficult debugging and testing which had to be resolved by applying smaller basic test samples, which still showed the functional integrity.
The end product was a simple GUI containing only the most important functions, and serves as a prove of concept that an implementation would benefit the teachers, lecturers or any administrative people involved in the business of allocating over 200 courses per semester.
