DEVELOPING A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR EXAM SCHEDULING PROBLEM USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

Exam scheduling is a very complex process done every semester in educational institution and usually manually. The limited resources these institutions make the preparation of exam program demanding inconvenient task. In addition, when examined detail, it seen that comprehensive task requires fulfillment many situations other than appointment appropriate course for time period. this study, solution approach allows assignment courses to periods proposed whose data we use. Thus, aimed obtain can quickly solve problem, which institution. A Genetic Algorithm, an artificial intelligence optimization algorithm, was used as method, performance method on problem tested. taking into account students, lecturers, administrative staff's within study's scope purpose, aims programs will satisfy everyone. However, most studies focused idea making suitable use non-technical personnel neglected. developed study has been turned decision support system. become structure personnel. As result considering institution's entire structure, period obtained, automated, eliminating effort spent by staff.
