Features
FET is free software (open source). You can freely use, copy, modify and re-distribute it, as GNU/GPL permits (but please consider a donation)Localized to en_GB (English), ar (Arabic), ca (Catalan), de (German), el (Greek), es (Spanish), fa (Persian), fr (French), hu (Hungarian), id (Indonesian), it (Italian), lt (Lithuanian), mk (Macedonian), ms (Malay), nl (Dutch), pl (Polish), ro (Romanian), ru (Russian) and tr (Turkish) (maybe incompletely)Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocationPlatform independent implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any system that Qt supportsPowerful flexible modular xml format for the input file, allowing editing with an xml editor or by hand (besides FET)Possibility to view the currently generated timetable without stopping the ongoing simulation (as html on hard disk)The resulted timetables are exported into xml and html formatsVery flexible students (pupils) structure, organized into sets: years, groups and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups. You can even define individual students (as separate sets)Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0% (some special constraints can have only 100% weight percentage possible)Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 60 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum number of working days per week: 28 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum total number of teachers: 700 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum total number of sets of students: 15000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum total number of subjects: 1000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Virtually unlimited number of subject tagsMaximum number of activities: 5000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum number of rooms: 1000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum number of buildings: 100 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Adjustable duration for each activity (each activity can have duration of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or more)Possibility of adding multiple teachers and students sets for each activity. That is, each activity can have specified any number of students subgroups (sets) and any number of teachers (it is possible to have no teacher or no students set for an activity, also)Maximum number of time constraints: 10000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)Maximum number of space constraints: 10000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)A large and flexible palette of time constraints:Constraint basic compulsory timeConstraint students (set) early max beginnings at second hourConstraint students (set) max gaps per weekConstraint min n days between activities (to allow balancing the activities in a week)Constraint activity preferred time (to specify for an activity a preferred day, hour or both)Constraint activity preferred timesConstraint activities preferred times (you can specify a set of activities by teacher, subject, subject tag or students and a set of preferred or allowed periods).Constraint breakConstraint students (set) max (min) hours dailyConstraint teacher(s) max (min) hours dailyConstraint students set not availableConstraint teacher max days per weekConstraint teacher not availableConstraint teachers max gaps per weekConstraint activities same starting hourConstraint activities same starting timeConstraint activities not overlappingConstraint min gaps between activitiesConstraint 2 activities consecutiveConstraint 2 activities groupedConstraint 2 activities orderedConstraint activity(ies) ends students dayConstraint teachers max gaps per dayConstraint teacher(s) max hours continuouslyConstraint students (set) max hours continuouslyConstraint teacher(s) hourly interval max days per weekConstraint students (set) hourly interval max days per weekA large and flexible palette of space constraints:Constraint basic compulsory spaceConstraint room not availableConstraint activity preferred room(s)Constraint subject preferred room(s)Constraint subject subject tag preferred room(s)Constraints to control building changes for students and teachers (min gaps between building changes, max building changes per day, max building changes per week).
