Jeudi 2 mai 2013 @ Sophia-Antipolis : soirée OptaPlanner
Le Riviera JUG organise une rencontre gratuite sur le thème d´OptaPlanner (anciennement Drools Planner) le jeudi 2 mai 2013 à partir de 18h dans les locaux d´Inria Sophia-Antipolis.
Après un long hiatus involontaire causé par des désistements de speakers, des indisponibilités de salles, et disons le franchement, un manque flagrant et caractérisé d’attention de la part des organisateurs (nous, quoi)… le Riviera JUG revient !!
Tout cela c’est du passé, parce que nous allons vous proposer une super soirée OptaPlanner (anciennement Drools Planner), par rien de moins que Geoffrey de Smet (son auteur), qui viendra nous expliquer comment utiliser OptaPlanner pour résoudre tous les problèmes d’optimisation de resources et de leur ordonnancement. Cela pourra sans doute nous aider pour l’organisation du JUG, tiens.

Programme détaillé
Do more business with less resources: optimize with OptaPlanner
The world is full of planning problems. Whether you’re scheduling employees to shifts, delivery routes to vehicles, aircraft/crews to flights, courses to timeslots/rooms or computer processes to servers, you want optimize your planning: maximize your business goals, minimize cost and adhere to all constraints. And you need to respond in real-time with the best planning as circumstances change - equipment breaks, the weather changes or staff call in sick. The difference between the best solution and your current feasible solution might be millions of dollars in costs or lost revenue.
OptaPlanner optimizes any planning problem with heuristic and metaheuristic algorithms. The input and output are plain POJO’s. The constraints are written in Drools Expert rules or plain old Java.
In the first part of this presentation, I'll explain the nature of planning problems, go through an entire OptaPlanner example, show some demo’s and compare the results of different optimization algorithms. In the second part of this presentation, I’ll explain the common score design techniques and try to explain the inner workings of some of the metaheuristic algorithms.
