A parallelized matheuristic for the International Timetabling Competition 2019

The Third International Timetabling Competition

This paper is the organizers’ report on the Third International Timetabling Competition (ITC2011), run during the first half of 2012. Its participants tackled 35 instances of the high school timetabling problem, taken from schools in 10 countries.

The Second International Timetabling Competition: Examination Timetabling Track

The 2nd International Timetabling Competition (ITC2007) is made up of three tracks; one on examination timetabling and two on course timetabling. This paper describes the examination timetabling track introduced as part of the competition. Both the model and the datasets are based on current real world instances introduced by EventMAP Limited. It is hoped that the interest generated as part of ...

International Timetabling Competition A Hybrid Approach

This work arises from the research of the Metaheuristics Network on the University Course Timetabling Problem. In a first phase straightforward implementations of different metaheuristics were compared on a common local search framework [4]. In a second phase problem specific knoweldge was exploited and several alternatives for local search and metaheuristics were considered. Many possibilities...

Towards a Deterministic Algorithm for the International Timetabling Competition

The Course Timetabling Problem consists of the weekly scheduling of lectures of a collection of university courses, subject to certain constraints. The International Timetabling Competitions, ITC-2002 and ITC-2007, have been organized with the aim of creating a common formulation for comparison of solution proposals. This paper discusses the design and implementation of an extendable family of ...
