ConferenceScheduler

• The Scheduler class provides a method called schedule() as an API to create a Conference object representing a scheduled conference with tracks for the provided input
• Example use of the API:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFile));
Conference conference = new Scheduler().schedule(reader);
System.out.print(conference);

Conference

• A Conference object returns the schedule as a string via its toString() method.

Track

• An object representation of a single track of a conference. Each Track object contains one or more Slots

Session

• A Session represents a group of talks or events in a Track with a fixed start and end time. E.g.: the morning slot starting at 9 AM and ending at 12 PM with multiple events in it

Talk

• An talk of the conference
