| Abstract: | A user-friendly, menu-driven decision support system that can be used to construct university timetables is described. The system is written in Microsoft Access, within the Microsoft Windows environment, for an MS-DOS personal computer. A case study is reported, involving the successful use of the system in the environment that motivated its development, namely course timetabling at a New Zealand university. The system provides a useful addition to the university timetabler's toolkit and an interesting application of the DSS approach in an important area. |
