This paper presents a case-based heuristic selection approach for automated university
course and exam timetabling. The method described in this paper is motivated by the goal of …

The study of the relationship and interaction between the work carried out in the academic
literature and the requirements of university administrators is essential if ideas generated by …

The modeling and solution approaches being used to automate construction of course
timetables at a large university are discussed. A course structure model is presented that …

Student sectioning is the problem of assigning students to particular sections of courses they
request while respecting constraints such as course structures, section limits, and reserved …

The problem of timetabling examinations and courses is of much interest and concern to
academic institutions. The basic problem is to allocate a time slot and a room for all events …

In sufficiently large schools, courses are given to classes in sections of various sizes.
Consequently, classes have to be split into various given numbers of sections. We focus on …

We show that the following fundamental question in student sectioning can be efficiently
decided in polynomial time: Is it possible to assign mm students to kk sectioned courses with …

A standard problem within universities is that of teaching space allocation which can be
thought of as the assignment of rooms and times to various teaching activities. The focus is …

4.1 Example in which applying operators to split classes has different effects. In case 1, class
C2 first receives a push-rand into room R2, and then applications of split-push to C1 are …

In this paper a new clustering algorithm based on the fish school behavior is proposed. The
algorithm is an extension of the classical flock model of Reynolds with a new characteristic …
