Class OnFlySectioning

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.sf.cpsolver.coursett.model.OnFlySectioning
All Implemented Interfaces:
ModelListener<Lecture,Placement>

public class OnFlySectioning
extends Object
implements ModelListener<Lecture,Placement>

On fly student sectioning.

In this mode, students are resectioned after each iteration, but only between classes that are affected by the iteration. This slows down the solver, but it can dramatically improve results in the case when there is more stress put on student conflicts (e.g., Woebegon College example).

Parameters:

Parameter Type Comment
OnFlySectioning.Enabled Boolean Enable on fly sectioning (if enabled, students will be resectioned after each iteration)
OnFlySectioning.Recursive Boolean Recursively resection lectures affected by a student swap
OnFlySectioning.ConfigAsWell Boolean Resection students between configurations as well
