This paper proposes a general solution model using agent technology in order to solve two critical open issues in the course timetabling problem: application-specific issues and d...
Combinations of evolutionary based approaches with local search have provided very good results for a variety of scheduling problems. This paper describes the development of such a...
This paper presents an Adaptive Tabu Search algorithm (denoted by ATS) for solving a problem of curriculum-based course timetabling. The proposed algorithm follows a general frame...
The timetabling problem consists in fixing a sequence of meetings between teachers and students in a prefixed period of time (typically a week), satisfying a set of constraints of ...
This paper discusses a new solution to university course timetabling problems. The problems that belong to the NP-hard class are very difficult to solve using conventional optimiza...
