Take a look at the schedule here.
Take a look the contents of the BOF here.
The drools solver manual has also been expanded with more info about the examples:
Take a look at the updated manual here.
The manual now contains some insight about the problem size of the examples. Did you know that the traveling tournament example nl16 finds a feasible solution out of 2,45064610271441678267620602e+259 possible solutions?
And of course I 've added some more eye candy:


so how long did it take to solve 64 queens?
ReplyDeleteOn my pc (a 2 year old mid-end home pc) on windows XP SP2 with jre 1.6, the second run (the first run takes 4s longer to hotspot compile), it takes:
ReplyDeleteINFO Solved in 79 steps and 50391 time millis spend.
So about 50 seconds to find 1 feasible solution for 64 queens.
That's with tabu search (solution tabu) without a scalable selector (which I am working on).
Without a scalable selector, tabu search isn't really useful for real-life size problems, such as Examination.
That's cool. fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Geoffrey, I will try drools solver asap. By the way, good luck at Javapolis 2007 :)
