Schedule workers to timeslots with ease.

Schedulous is intended to make scheduling easier. You provide a set of available workers and a set of timeslots to Schedulous (both in CSV format), along with a set of constraints you want met, and Schedulous finds a schedule for you.

You will need the following software installed:

1. Scala (I use 2.11.7)
2. SBT (I use 0.13.9)
3. Z3 (I use 4.4.1)

After you have installed the above prerequisites, you will need to create two CSVs.

1. You will need a events.csv file containing all of the timeslots you need filled, one per line. It must have the at least the following header fields in any order: date,start,end,duration,event,role,approval,person. Extra header fields will be ignored.
2. You will need a workers.csv file containing all of the workers and their availability, one worker per line. It must have at least the following header fields in any order: First Name,Last Name as well as a set of fields indicating availability, e.g., Available Tue 6/14.
3. For now, you will need to create/modify the VolunteerCSVReader to indicate how to interpret the Available [date] fields. See here.
4. Create a Scala program that reads in your event and worker data files, sets Schedulous configuration options, and then produces a schedule. Feel free to modify the example here.
5. Run your program.

Schedulous is built on top of the Z3 constraint solver. Constraints are implemented in a simple SMTLIB DSL written in Scala. You can find a set of sample constraints in the src/main/scala/Constraints folder. You can add constraints by implementing this trait and then by adding them to your Schedulous configuration.

The set of currently available constraints are:

1. Ensure a "fair" workload. All workers work the same number of hours +/- e of minutes (user-definable).
2. Ensure that all timeslots are filled.
3. Limit the total number of days that a worker works.
4. Ensure that workers have at most n assignments (user-definable).
5. Ensure that workers have at least n assignments (user-definable).
6. Ensure that workers only work 1 assignment at a time (i.e., no concurrent assignments).

Schedulous is currently pretty rough around the edges, but it works. If you have modifications that help you---even trivial ones---I'd be happy to accept them. I am particularly interested in changes that make it easy to run this without having to modify source files.
