Title
Effective local search algorithms for high school timetabling problems.
Abstract
•We propose Iterated Local Search and Variable Neighborhood Search based algorithms for high school timetabling problems.•We devise two generic neighborhood operators that can be easily adapted to similar problems.•The hybridization between these neighborhood operators improves hugely the effectiveness of local search procedures.•The proposed algorithms outperform state-of-the-art approaches in two datasets tested for two variants of the problem.•New instances collected from different Brazilian high schools are made available for next studies.
