An effective hybrid algorithm for university course timetabling
The university course timetabling problem is an optimisation problem in which a set of events has to be scheduled in timeslots and located in suitable rooms. Recently, a set of benchmark instances was introduced and used for an ‘International Timetabling Competition’ to which 24 algorithms were submitted by various research groups active in the field of timetabling. We describe and analyse a hy...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach for University Course Timetabling
The university course timetabling problem deals with the assignment of lectures to specific timeslots and rooms. The goal is to satisfy the soft constraints to the largest degree possible while constructing a feasible schedule. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach consisting of three phases. During phase 1, initial solutions are generated using a constructive heuristic. An improvement ap...
متن کاملA memetic algorithm for University Course Timetabling
We present here a metaheuristic approach to the university course timetabling problem using a memetic algorithm with a very effective local search. The algorithm was tested on the International Timetabling Competition benchmark instances. Results are encouraging and show that evolutionary computation with the help of local search can compete with succesful algorithms on the problem.
متن کاملAn Event Grouping Based Algorithm for University Course Timetabling Problem
This paper presents the study of an event grouping based algorithm for a university course timetabling problem. Several publications which discuss the problem and some approaches for its solution are analyzed. The grouping of events in groups with an equal number of events in each group is not applicable to all input data sets. For this reason, a universal approach to all possible groupings of ...
متن کاملA hybrid algorithm of Harmony Search and Bees Algorithm for a University Course Timetabling Problem
This paper is concerned with the development of a new hybrid metaheuristic approach for solving a practical university course timetabling problem in Vietnam. Our hybrid method is a combination of Harmony Search (HS) algorithm and the Bees algorithm. The proposed method has been tested on 14 real-world data instances and compared with some other metaheurisitic approaches, which are Variable Neig...
