A Boolean matrix iteration in timetable construction

A stable iteration to the matrix inversion

The matrix inversion plays a signifcant role in engineering and sciences. Any nonsingular square matrix has a unique inverse which can readily be evaluated via numerical techniques such as direct methods, decomposition scheme, iterative methods, etc. In this research article, first of all an algorithm which has fourth order rate of convergency with conditional stability will be proposed. ...

Hierarchical Timetable Construction

A hierarchical timetable is one made by recursively joining smaller timetables together into larger ones. Hierarchical timetables exhibit a desirable regularity of structure, at the cost of some limitation of choice in construction. This paper describes a method of specifying hierarchical timetables using mathematical operators, and introduces a data structure which supports the efficient and f...

A Software Architecture for Timetable Construction

As timetable construction research moves beyond the limitations of single, isolated solution methods, software architectures are needed that allow the researcher to combine many different solution methods in arbitrary ways in the solution of a single problem. This paper describes a blackboard architecture, implemented as an object-oriented framework, which addresses this need. Also included is ...
