A Campus-Wide University Examination Timetabling Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors of this paper were tasked to create an automated campus-wide timetabling system, for both course and examination timetable scheduling, for the National University of Singapore. This paper explains the development and design of the exam-scheduling portion of the University Timetable Scheduler (UTTS) software. The preliminary results of the application of the AC3 algorithm on this problem are also shown, and indicate the tremendous potential benefits of such a system.

متن کاملA hyperheuristic approach to examination timetabling problems: benchmarks and a new problem from practice
Many researchers studying examination timetabling problems focus on either benchmark problems or problems from practice encountered in their institutions. Hyperheuristics are proposed as generic optimisation methods which explore the search space of heuristics rather than direct solutions. In the present study, the performance of tournament-based hyperheuristics for the exam timetabling problem...

متن کاملA new model for automated examination timetabling
Automated examination timetabling has been addressed by a wide variety of methodologies and techniques over the last ten years or so. Many of the methods in this broad range of approaches have been evaluated on a collection of benchmark instances provided at the University of Toronto in 1996. Whilst the existence of these datasets has provided an invaluable resource for research into examinatio...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Multistage Approaches to Examination Timetabling
Many successful approaches to examination timetabling consist of multiple stages, in which a constructive approach is used for finding a good initial solution, and then one or more improvement approaches are employed successively to further enhance the quality of the solution obtained during the previous stage. Moreover, there is a growing number of studies describing the success of approaches ...
