If a hotel owner has booked the same room by two different guests, this is
Software developed by LionLaboratory (Learning and Intelligent Optimization) of the Faculty of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento. The research team, led by Roberto Battiti and Mauro Brunato, partnered with local start-up Ciaomanager Srl, which provided information on day-to-day hotel management. The algorithm has already been filed for a patent.
“The work of the RoomTetris algorithm,” explainsRoberto Battiti is inspired by the game Tetris, which is well known among scientists and video game enthusiasts around the world. Colored tiles of various shapes fall onto the playing field, and players must place them so that they do not accumulate. It is necessary to best fit the blocks into the free cells.”
RoomTetris finds the best solution, the perfectcombination of supply and demand, optimizing room occupancy. The authors of the development said they are happy to help the hotel sector, which has been hit hard by the effects of the pandemic.
