Limitations
Time Constraints
Due to the time
constraints place upon this project, not all of the features that
were originally planned for were included.
Linear Approach
Much time was wasted
pursuing a linear approach. The classic "assignment problem"
was created using a linear approach. With some coding supporting this,
work was undertook to solve the solution in a linear fashion. After
much coding and research, the expected 1000 applicants was not feasibly
with a linear approach. In fact, testing 16 applicants took more than
10 minutes! A faster way was found, but much time and effort was put
into this approach.
1 to 1 ratio of
Applicants to Openings
Because of the unique
algorithm presented, and the span of time to work in, an exact ratio
of 1 to 1 is needed. The number of applicants to fill the positions
must be the same as the number of positions available in the total
regions. The prototype is not able to increase/decrease the number
of positions if the applicants and the positions do not match. Also,
the prototype will issue a warning letting the user know that the
applicants and positions do not match.
