Granular Modelling Of Exam To Slot Allocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we are introducing a new method of granular exam-to-slot allocation based on the preprocessing of the basic student-exam information into a more abstract (granulated) entity of conflict chains. Since the conflict chains are designed to capture the mutual dependencies between exams, they enable us to reason about the exam-to-slot allocation for all exams in a chain rather than just one exam at-a-time. The initial exam-to-slot allocation, generated through the processing of conflict chains, is then refined by considering the spread of the exams in the examination session so as to minimize the appropriately defined cost function. The granular pre-processing of problem data has been shown to enhance the efficiency of the exam scheduling task and has led to the identification of very competitive exam schedules.
