A study on heuristic timetabling method for faculty course timetable problem

This paper studies university course timetabling problem in a case study related to faculty management system, which is concerned with assigning students/lecturers to classes and time-slots. In order to increase flexibility choices of timeslot for "repeaters", the problem has become more t...
