I wrote a scheduler using AI::Genetic that did pretty well, given a
fixed number of identical slots in a fixed number of rooms, and a series
of classes to be taught by each instructor (serial dependency), and a
first and second choice by each student, came up with a master schedule.

It was for Geek Cruises, back when Neil would actually ask attendees
what they wanted to see.  Now, it's entirely handcrafted.
