Automatic Class Timetable Generation using a Hybrid Genetic and Tabu Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Timetable generation is a combinatorial optimization problem. Meta Heuristic methods and Evolutionary Algorithms have given the best results when it comes to solving the problem of timetable generation. In our paper the problem of timetable generation for the Computer Science and Engineering Dept. of BMS College of Engineering is solved with the help of Genetic Algorithm and Tabu Search which belong to the class of Evolutionary Algorithms and Meta – Heuristics respectively. Genetic Algorithms help in finding multiple optimal solutions in one iteration but they can get stuck at local optima. This can be avoided by using Tabu Search procedure.

Automatic Timetable Generation System
This paper discusses the various approaches that can be taken to solve the timetable generation problem. Timetable generation is basically a constraint satisfaction problem. The methods discussed in this paper are capable of handling both soft and hard constraints. Once the final timetable has been generated, teachers and students can access it through three different views i.e., class view, la...
متن کاملTabu-KM: A Hybrid Clustering Algorithm Based on Tabu Search Approach
The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is developed for solving this problem, called Tabu-KM. It gathers the ...

متن کاملGenerating Optimal Timetabling for Lecturers using Hybrid Fuzzy and Clustering Algorithms
UCTTP is a NP-hard problem, which must be performed for each semester frequently. The major technique in the presented approach would be analyzing data to resolve uncertainties of lecturers’ preferences and constraints within a department in order to obtain a ranking for each lecturer based on their requirements within a department where it is attempted to increase their satisfaction and develo...
