| Abstract: | Every school must generate a timetable for its courses. If the number of classes is large -- say 100 or more -- and constraints and preferences are involved, this problem becomes too time-consuming to do manually. The author implemented a course time-tabling system for the Anderson School of Management at UCLA. The author divided the overall problem into two subproblems: first to schedule the core courses using an integer-programming algorithm, and second to generate a timetable by using a heuristic algorithm. |
