This work presents a constructive approach to the process of fixing a sequence of meetings between teachers and students in a prefixed period of time, satisfying a set of constrain...

Examination timetabling problems are often solved by a two-phase procedure combining a sequential construction heuristic with a metaheuristic improvement search. There can be many...
Abstract— We present a grammar-based genetic programming framework for the solving the timetabling problem via the evolution of constructive heuristics. The grammar used for prod...
This paper presents an investigation of a simple generic hyper-heuristic approach upon a set of widely used constructive heuristics (graph coloring heuristics) in timetabling. Wit...

Metaheuristic approaches to examination timetabling problems are usually split up into two phases: initialisation phase in which a heuristic is employed to construct an initial sol...
