Title
A Standard Data Format for Timetabling Instances
Abstract
Many formats have been d eveloped for r epresenting timetable data instances. The variety of data formats currently in u se makes the c omparison o f r esearch results and exchange of data e xtremely difficult. As many researchers have observed, the need for a standard d ata format for timetabling instances is now becoming urgent, so as to allow the sharing of data and testing of algorithms on standard b enchmarks. At present t his is not possible in research on timetable construction. In this paper we state the general requirements of a standard d ata format and present a standard data format and language for use in the evaluation of timetable instances.
