Envisaged features

• The user will choose from predefined skeleton. The skeleton will define the number of slots per day and the break times. In addition it will define the flexibility of the different time slots. For example morning tea can start 30m earlier or 30min later this flexibility allows the stretching and shrinking of sessions if necessary to fit in longer or shorter presentations.
• The automatic scheduler will prefill the skeleton keeping presentations with the same theme and keywords together. presentations could be assigned more than one theme and will be assigned several keywords.
• A graphical overview of the programme (up to 5 days) and the list of presentations, should be visible at the same time with the possibility to expand and collapse either of these.
• The list view contains sorting, filtering and colouring options (according to Theme, timeslot length, presenter, affiliation, etc.)
• The programme view should contain colouring options.
• The user can drag-n-drop presentations from one time-slot to another, pin presentations to a specific timeslots and rerun the scheduler to prefill the remaining slots.
• It is envisaged that some attributes may be changed in the scheduler. For example a timeslot length of theme.
• Saving and exporting a final programme and writing changed attributes back to the original database.
