About

gstpl provides help with manual and computer controlled scheduling for high schools, universities and even companies. It handles a list of persons, subjects ('tasks') and rooms ('places'). For a quick start see here and for further documentation here. Developers or researchers can take a look into the Developer Guide.

When gstpl could be useful for you?

gstpl could be useful for your university, high school and also for your company in the following situations:

If you don't want to loose time, now gstpl is able to generate and optimize timetables computer controlled e.g. for a list of persons and their tasks (subjects).
Or If you want to manage things manually then gstpl can find free time slots of specified minutes for a list of persons with different timetables.
Or gstpl searches for a free room to help some persons. This will be done with the free time for every person and the availability of every room in 'mind'!

Why you should choose gstpl?

gstpl is easy, it has a graphical user interface, where you manage the timetables graphically and see the progress of the computer controlled scheduling in a 2d graph.
gstpl is written in Java, so it is independent of the operating system.
gstpl is free (licensed under the LGPL), small (< 4MB) and uses several other Open Source products:
- Db4o : An object oriented database. (dOCL)
- Cayenne : An elegant object-relational mapping suite. (Apache License)
- Derby : The pure java database and a Network Server. (Apache License)
- MyDoggy : An elegant graphical user interface manager, with a clean API and a nice user experience. (LGPL)
- VLJTable : A library that enables sorting and filtering of gstpl's tables. (LGPL) Downloadable here
