Tiivistelmä: | This paper reports the design and implementation of a PC-based computer system to aid the construction of a combined university course--examination timetable. The specific difficulties to be faced are the restricted availability of classrooms and the increased flexibility of the students' choices of courses, which makes the problem very tight. The system uses an integer programming (IP) model that assigns courses to time slots and rooms. The model is coupled with flexible front-end device that generates constraints corresponding to assumptions specified by the user and report writers that facilitate the presentation of the resulting schedule. |
