Evolutionary algorithms to solve the school timetabling problem

Evolutionary Computation (EC) have been applied to a great number of optimisation problems with some success, specially in fields such as production operations in manufacturing industry, parallel and distributed systems, logistics and traffic.

description Evolutionary Computation (EC) have been applied to a great number of optimisation problems with some success, specially in fields such as production operations in manufacturing industry, parallel and distributed systems, logistics and traffic. The Timetabling problem is a kind of three-dimensional cutting problems, but it can be considered as a kind of scheduling problems too.. The problem of creating a valid timetable involves scheduling classes, teachers and rooms into a fixed number of periods, in such a way that no teacher, class or room is used more than once per period. The EC mimics the process of natural selection, with the effect of creating a number of potentially optimal solutions to some complex search problem. This work shows an evolutionary approach to solve the school-timetabling problem. To ensure the birth of valid offspring this approach uses a population of decoders. Implementation details for a set of timetabling instances of distinct complexity, using evolutionary approaches to the problem, are shown.
