What is a reconfigurable scheduler, and what is so good about it?
Most schedulers solve a limited class of scheduling problems in a single domain. A reconfigurable scheduler greatly widens the the range of problems that the scheduler can solve and can work in any domain. For example, a reconfigurable scheduler can just as easily schedule taxi cab pickups as soccer fields, just as easily schedule classrooms for test as crews to fly airplanes, just as easily schedule jobs in a flexible factory as calls for repairpeople. The flexibility to tailor a reconfigurable scheduler to your problem of interest is what makes it so powerful.
