Design

ConferenceScheduler

• The ConferenceTrackGenerator class provides a generator() method API to create a Conference object representing a scheduled conference with tracks for the provided input
• To generate the conference, this programm first collects all talks and fits them afterwards
  in a session of a track. The remaining time of a session is the decider for accepting a talk to a session.
• Example use of the API:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/path/to/input_file"));
ConferenceTrackGenerator ctg = new ConferenceTrackGenerator();
Conference conference = ctg.generator(reader);
System.out.println(conference);

Conference

Track
