چکیده
We present a resolution technique of the University course Timetabling problem (UCTP), this technique is based in the implementation of Hypercube framework using the Max-Min Ant System. We presented the structure of the problem and the design of resolution using this framework. A simplification of the UCTP problem is used, involving three types of hard restrictions and three types of soft restrictions. We solve experimental instances and competition instances the results are presented of comparative form to other techniques. We presented an appropriate construction graph and pheromone matrix representation. A representative instance is solved in addition to the schedules of the school of Computer science engineering of the Catholic University of Valparaiso. The results obtained for this instance appear. Finally the conclusions are given.

متن کاملA discrete-event optimization framework for mixed-speed train timetabling problem
Railway scheduling is a complex task of rail operators that involves the generation of a conflict-free train timetable. This paper presents a discrete-event simulation-based optimization approach for solving the train timetabling problem to minimize total weighted unplanned stop time in a hybrid single and double track railway networks. The designed simulation model is used as a platform for ge...
متن کاملUsing fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm for common lecturer timetabling among departments
University course timetabling problem is one of the hard problems and it must be done for each term frequently which is an exhausting and time consuming task. The main technique in the presented approach is focused on developing and making the process of timetabling common lecturers among different departments of a university scalable. The aim of this paper is to improve the satisfaction of com...
متن کاملUniversity Course Timetabling Using ACO: A Case Study on Laboratory Exercises
The ant colony optimisation metaheuristic has shown promise on simplified artificial instances of university course timetabling problems. However, limited work has been done applying it to practical timetabling problems. In this paper, we describe the application of the ant colony optimisation to a highly constrained real–world instance of the university course timetabling problem. We present t...
متن کاملA Novel Aco-Based Multicast Path Algorithm In Hypercube Networks
This paper proposes an ACO (ant colony optimization)-based multicast path algorithm (AMPA) to reduce the multicast communication traffic in hypercube networks. According to the high regularity of hypercube networks, an optimized distributed algorithm (Opt-AMPA) for AMPA is proposed by clustering strategy, whose time cost can fill the requirements of the actual networks. The simulation results i...
