<pre>&lt;restriction type="not-available"&gt;day period&lt;/restriction&gt;</pre>
<p>This tuple restriction specifies that the current resource is not available
at time slot at the specified day and period.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre>&lt;resourcetype type="teacher"&gt;
	&lt;resource name="A"&gt;
		&lt;restriction type="not-available"&gt;1 1&lt;/restriction&gt;
	&lt;/resource&gt;
&lt;/resource&gt;</pre>
<p>This means that no event for teacher A will be scheduled on the second 
period of the second day (day and period numbers start at 0).</p>

Original idea for this module by Nick Robinson (npr@bottlehall.co.uk).
Module was later rewritten to serve as an example for the new updater

		<description>
<p>Adds support for events that must be scheduled adjacent to one
another. This module uses updater functions, so the weight and mandatory
values are ignored.</p>

				<description>
<p>This restriction specifies that the repeats of the current event need to 
be scheduled consecutively.</p>
<p>Please note that this module distinguishes events by the 
assignments of constant resources and event names. The way events are 
defined in the XML file has no effect. The following two examples will 
therefore both result in one block of four consecutive "Lecture" events.</p>
<p>Example 1:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name ="Lecture" repeats="2"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher"  name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class"  name="B"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="consecutive"/&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;
&lt;event name ="Lecture" repeats="2"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher"  name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class"  name="B"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="consecutive"/&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>Example 2:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name ="Lecture" repeats="4"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher"  name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class"  name="B"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="consecutive"/&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>If you would like to have two blocks of two consecutive "Lecture" events, 
you must either change the names of two events like in the following example 
or use the periods-per-block restriction.</p>
<pre>&lt;event name ="Lecture 1" repeats="2"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher"  name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class"  name="B"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="consecutive"/&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;
&lt;event name ="Lecture 2" repeats="2"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher"  name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class"  name="B"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="consecutive"/&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
				</description>
			</tuple-restriction>
			<tuple-restriction>
				<name>periods-per-block</name>
				<description>
<p>This restriction specifies that the repeats of the current event need to 
be scheduled blocks of N consecutive events. If the number of repeats is
not divisible by N, then one block will have less than N events.</p>
<p>Events in the following example will be scheduled in two blocks of three
consecutive events, two blocks of two consecutive events and one single
event.</p>
<pre>&lt;event name ="Lecture" repeats="6"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher" name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class" name="B"/&gt;

<p>Set this restriction to prevent the current event from being scheduled in 
the same day as the one specified in the restriction.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name="A" repeats="3"&gt;
	...
	&lt;restriction type="not-same-day-as"&gt;B&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;
&lt;event name="B" repeats="4"&gt;
	...
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>In this example no "A" event will be scheduled on the same day as a "B"
event</p>

<p>Specifies that a particular event must be scheduled at the specified
day and/or period.</p>
<p>There is no fitness function, so the "weight" and "mandatory" module 
options are ignored (restrictions set by this module are always mandatory).</p>
<p>Consider the following example:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name="A" repeats="1"&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="fixed-day"&gt;3&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;
&lt;event name="B" repeats="1"&gt;

&lt;/event&gt;
&lt;event name="C" repeats="1"&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="fixed-day"&gt;4&lt;/restriction&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="fixed-period"&gt;5&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>Event "A" can be scheduled on any period of the fourth day of the week. 
Event "B" can be scheduled on the third period of any day of the week.
Event "C" can only be scheduled on the sixth period of the fifth day.</p>

<p>Adds a weight if a constant resource of the specified type 
has the first event of a day later than the specified first period.</p>
<p>This module is commonly used in school scheduling when it is desired that
all teachers and/or all students start their day before or at a specified 
hour.</p>
<p>For example, if you do not want students to have free periods in the
morning:</p>
<pre>&lt;module name="freemorning.so" weight="50" mandatory="yes"&gt; 
	&lt;option name="resourcetype"&gt;class&lt;/option&gt;

		<description>
<p>This module calculates weekly dispersion of non-free time slots for 
different resources (usually classes and teachers). Number of added weights 
is equal to the sum of dispersions for all classes.</p>
<p>This module tries to ensure that students have their work evenly 
distributed throughout the week. For example: This module would add zero 
weights if a class has 5 non-free periods on each day of the week. On the 
other hand, it would add 2 weights if this class has 6 non-free periods on
monday, 4 on tuesday and 5 on wednesday, thursday and friday. This is done
by calculating mathematical dispersion of non-free periods through the 
weekdays.</p>

				<name>recurrence</name>
				<description>
<p>This restriction specifies two recurrence parameters: The week when the
recurrence starts and how many times per week should this event appear.</p>
<p>Consider the following example:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name="Lecture" repeats="24"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher" name="A"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class" name="B"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="recurrence"&gt;2 3&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>This means that events named 'Lecture' will appear for 8 consecutive weeks
(24 repeats divided by 3 recurrences per week) starting on the third week
(week are numbered starting from 0) with 3 events per week.</p>
				</description>
			</tuple-restriction>

			<module-option>
				<name>days-per-week</name>
				<description>
<p>This option specifies the number of work days per week. If this option is
not specified a default number of 5 is used.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>&lt;module name="recurrence.so" weight="60" mandatory="yes"&gt;
	&lt;option name="days-per-week"&gt;6&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/module&gt;
.
.
.
&lt;resourcetype type="time"&gt;
	&lt;matrix width="30" height="5"/&gt;
&lt;/resourcetype&gt;</pre>
<p>This combination of options would result in a timetable that is 6 weeks long
(30 weeks long divided by 6 days per week).</p>
<p>Please note that if you changed the default number of days per week you will
also have to give this option to the 'htmlcss2' export module to get the
expected result.</p>

Adds a weight if a class or a teacher (as specified by the "resourcetype"
module option) has the same subject more than N 
times in a day.</p>
<p>Default for N is 1. Default value can be changed with the module option 
"default". Default value for N can also be overridden for individual 
teachers, classes and events with various restrictions.</p>

<pre>&lt;restriction type="conflicts-with"&gt;name&lt;/restriction&gt;</pre>
<p>This restriction specifies that current class or teacher should never have 
lessons at the same time as the class or teacher specified in the 
restriction.</p>
<p>There are two common uses for this restriction: When multiple classes share
an event and when multiple teachers share an event. Consider the following 
example:</p>
<p>Let's say we have two groups of students. Each group has its own timetable
except a couple of lessons which they share.</p>
<p>We define each group of students plus an extra group for the shared lessons.</p>
<pre>&lt;resourcetype type="class"&gt;
	&lt;resource name="Group 1"&gt;
		&lt;restriction type="conflicts-with"&gt;Group 1+2&lt;/restriction&gt;
	&lt;/resource&gt;
	&lt;resource name="Group 2"&gt;
		&lt;restriction type="conflicts-with"&gt;Group 1+2&lt;/restriction&gt;
	&lt;/resource&gt;
	&lt;resource name="Group 1+2"/&gt;
&lt;/resourcetype&gt;</pre>
<p>This way group 1+2 will never have lessons at the same time as
groups 1 and 2 and students from either group will be able to attend
lectures in group 1+2.</p>
<p>Multiple teachers per event can be defined in a similar way.</p>

<p>If this module option is present (any option value is ignored), then all
"conflicts-with" restrictions become recursive.</p>
<p>For example: if class A conflicts with class B and class A conflicts with 
class C, then class B will also automatically conflict with class C.</p>
<p>Without this option class C will not conflict with class B unless you 
specify this with another "conflicts-with" restriction.</p>

<pre>&lt;restriction type="same-time-as"&gt;event name&lt;/restriction&gt;</pre>
<p>This restriction specifies that the current event needs to be scheduled
at the same time as the event identified in the restriction.</p>
<pre>&lt;event name="a" repeats="4"&gt;
...
&lt;restriction type="same-time-as"&gt;b&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;
&lt;event name="b" repeats="5"&gt;

&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>In this case, four events "a" are scheduled at the same time as four events
"b". The fifth event "b" can be scheduled at any time.</p>

<pre>&lt;restriction type="periods-per-block"&gt;periods&lt;/restriction&gt;</pre>
<p>This restriction specifies that the repeats of the current event need to 
be scheduled in blocks of 'periods' consecutive periods.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name="test" repeats="6"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher" name="a"/&gt;
	&lt;resource type="class" name="2"/&gt;
	&lt;restriction type="periods-per-block"&gt;2&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>This restriction tells Tablix to schedule 6 events "test" in three blocks
of two consecutive "test" events.</p>

Adds a weight if two timeblocks are scheduled on the same day.</p>
<p>This module divides repetitions of an event into groups of equal sizes. It
then makes sure that two such groups aren't scheduled on the same day.</p>
<p>This module is deprecated. sameday.so module in combination with 
consecutive.so provides the same functionality with better performance.</p>

<p>Set this restriction to schedule blocks of events on different days.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre>&lt;event name="test" repeats="6"&gt;
	&lt;resource type="teacher" name="a"/&gt;

	&lt;restriction type="periods-per-block"&gt;2&lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/event&gt;</pre>
<p>This restriction tells Tablix to schedule 2 events "test" on one day, 
next 2 events "test" on some other day and next 2 events "test" again
on a different day.</p>

<p>This module calculates how many times constant resources of the 
specified type (usually classes or teachers) must change classrooms. 
It then adds equal number of weights.</p>
<p>This module is commonly used in school scheduling when it is desired that
teachers and/or students change classrooms between lectures as little 
as possible.</p>
