Genetic algorithms can be used to search very large spaces, and it would seem natural to use them for tackling the nastier kinds of timetabling problem. We completed an EPSRC-funded project on this last year, and distribute a free package that handle... Read More about Genetic algorithms and timetabling.

Routing using evolutionary agents and proactive transitions. (2003)
Book Chapter
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2003). Routing using evolutionary agents and proactive transitions. In Applications of Evolutionary Computing (696-705). Springer-Verlag

The authors have previously introduced the concept of building a delivery network using an agent-based system. The delivery networks are built in response to a real-world problem that involves delivering post to a large number of households within an...
