I have to schedule a conference, there is 6 class everyday and more than 10 lecturer,for 14days. some lecturer are available some days, some are not, some prefer some specific day or classess and some days they are off

i googled it so much but couldn't find good material to learn about it. i want to learn it ground up, it means if i need to learn constrain programming it's okey for me, because i don't have any background about it.

i'm looking for learning material, book and any suggestion about this. someplace in stackoverflow i read genetic algorithm it's good for it but no one was sure about it. because it's one of the most easy topic that i have to face, and i will face more hard solution in future, i have to learn from basic, new task from my manager and i have to face it.

i appreciate if you suggest any book, site, paper and sources to learn or share with me

OptaPlanner (open source, Java) is used for conference and course scheduling. The download contains the code of a complete course scheduling example called "curriculum course", which is also documented in the reference manual.

As for other sites, you might find the ITC2007 timetabling competition interesting.
