This paper describes extensions to an evolutionary algorithm that timetables classes for an entire University. A new method of dealing with multi-objectives is described along with a user int erface designed for it. New results are given concerning repair of poor recombi nation choices during local search. New methods are described and evaluated tha t allow timetables to be produced which have minimal changes compared to a full or partial reference timetable. The paper concludes with a discussion of scale-up issues, and gives some initial results that are very encouraging. |
