Title
University Course Timetabling with Genetic Algorithm: A Laboratory Excercises Case Study
Abstract
This paper describes the application of a hybrid genetic algorithm to a real-world instance of the university course timetabling problem. We address the timetabling of laboratory exercises in a highly constrained environment, for which a formal definition is given. Solution representation technique appropriate to the problem is defined, along with associated genetic operators and a local search algorithm. The approach presented in the paper has been successfully used for timetabling at the authors' institution and it was capable of generating timetables for complex problem instances.
