The timetabling problem is always a difficult task which comes up every calendar year in educational institutions. More especially if it has to be done manually. Various institutions of learning across the country are being faced with a lot of difficulties preparing examination timetable. Most of this problems are usually attributed to the constant increase in the number of students and courses...

The timetabling of lecturers, seminars, practical sessions and examinations is a core business process for academic institutions. A feasible timetable must satisfy hard constraints, an optimum timetable will additionally satisfy soft constraints, which are not absolutely essential. An Ant Colony based Timetabling Tool (ANCOTT) has been developed for solving timetabling problems. New variants of...

This paper describes a comprehensive course timetabling and student scheduling system that was developed for the University of Waterloo between 1979 and 1985. The system is based on a “demand-driven” philosophy where students first chose their courses, and the system tries to find the best timetable to maximize the number of satisfied requests. The problem is first decomposed into small managea...

A regular timetable is a collection of events that repeat themselves every specific time span. This even structure, whenever applied at a whole network, leads to several benefits both for users and the company, although some issues are introduced, especially about dimensioning the service. It is therefore fundamental to properly consider the interaction between the transport demand and supply, ...

Many real-world applications are mapped into combinatorial problems. An example of such problem is timetable scheduling. In this case, the two basic characteristics can be defined by its distributed and dynamic environment. One efficient solution to solve this problem could be provided by an agent-based approach. A timetable scheduling problem can be modelled as a multi-agent system that provid...
