>> Hi,

>> I'm preparing my program for the world film festival. My main tool is  a 
>> loosy catalogue where I report movies and time in a calendar and  then by 
>> hand I will select my movies depending on the conflicts and  my 
>> constraints.
>>
>> Here my questions, because it's a fairly common problem with many 
>> possible applications.
>>
>> Consider a series of events: En, n is an integer
>>
>> En  has a title
>>     has a start time
>>     has a duration
>>     has a date
>>     (has a category)
>>     has a location
>>
>> A "title" has 1 to 4 En (Basically the same movie can be played at 
>> different times during a week).
>>
>> So from a selection of certain number of titles, I want to have a 
>> schedule which optimize my viewing, basically to remove conflicts.
>>
>> It's a fairly common problem, because it's the case of
>>     - any festival of any kinds with multiple events at the same time
>>     - class schedule in a school
>>     - business meetings with many people
>>
>> that will be a selling case for the semantic Web definitely. It could  be 
>> combined with external resources, etc.
>>
>> * algorithm
>>
>> To help the thinking process and the way I do to select manually
>>     1. Choose all the movies I'm interested by
>>     2. Put them in a calendar, conflict or not.
>>     3. Take the first day and select the movies I want to see
>>     4. Remove the selected one from the rest of the calendar,
>>         - except if on a day later the movie has no conflicts,
>>           in that case select, another movie from the first day.
>>     5. Going to the next day and repeat the process.
>>
>> Usually it minimizes the conflicts and go quite fast.
