flop!

flop! is customisable software for cooperative scheduling and automatic timetable generation. It offers a low friction management of educational schedules by betting on cooperation. Each user (educator, student, etc) is encouraged to freely express their preferences and constraints through a large catalog of expressible wishes, designed for exhaustiveness. The best possible timetable is then calculated using MILP (Mixed-Integer Linear Programming) solvers. The generated timetable can be fine-tuned by any educator directly within the interface, without the need for time-consuming exchanges with a supervisor.

This approach, which improves working conditions for everyone, is made possible by an intuitive interface for expressing preferences and a secure framework with granular permission management, ensuring all constraints to be satisfied at all time. A version dedicated to cooperative professional teams is also under development.
