Encodings

Several encoding and associated utilities are provided in the jobshop.encodings package. The abstract class Encoding provides a common interface for all encodings.

Schedule

The Schedule has direct encoding of a solution: it associates every task in the jobshop to a start time.

It plays a particular role as it is the standard way of representing a solution. As a consequence, all other encodings must provide a way to produce a schedule.

Convenience methods:

• isValid(): returns true if the schedule is valid (no violated constraints).
• makespan(): computes the makespan of the solution.
• criticalPath(): returns a critical path in the solution.
• asciiGantt(): generates a Gantt chart view of the solution in ASCII art.
