It doesn't sound anything like a business concern. It sounds like some sort of data access system using IPC. http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment6http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment6Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:27:07 GMTMike Brown commented on Challenge: What is the problem?Shouldn't the work scheduling have a dependency on vacations rather than the other way around? When you schedule work, you have to take into account existing vacations. http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment5http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment5Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:11:20 GMTAdam commented on Challenge: What is the problem?namespaces? http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment4http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment4Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:52:49 GMTNathan commented on Challenge: What is the problem?How do you determine precedence of the dependencies? Precedence of dependencies could cause a NP problem as the system scales up if there are not rules about it. I doubt this what you are looking for though since you said it's not a performance related issue. http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment3http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment3Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:45:03 GMTAyende Rahien commented on Challenge: What is the problem?This is a DSL that builds the model, not run it, there are no external calls http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment2http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment2Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:07:07 GMTJon Lebensold commented on Challenge: What is the problem?OK, I'll bite since no one else has taken the bait. Your calls to external connections in large systems should be asynchronous and not part of a local specification. http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment1http://ayende.com/3485/challenge-what-is-the-problem#comment1Sun, 03 Aug 2008 13:48:13 GMT
