+;;; scheduler.el --- Sketches of scheduling -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Attempting to create a FSM for scheduling things in various ways:
+;;
+;; Scheduling policies:
+;; - earliest due date: minimizes total lateness of all tasks in a pool.  Put
+;;   the task with the latest due date last in the list and work backwards to
+;;   solve the precedence constraint (i.e. dependency issue).
+;; - shortest processing time: maximizes number of tasks completed.  Prioritize
+;;   tasks in the order of how long they will take to complete from shortest to
+;;   longest.  This breaks down when precedence constraints are introduced.
+;;
+;; Tasks should inherit prioritization.
