Metaheuristics for university course timetabling. (2007)
Book Chapter
Lewis, R. M. R., Paechter, B., & Rossi-Doria, O. (2007). Metaheuristics for university course timetabling. In K. Dahal, K. Chen Tan, & P. Cowling (Eds.), Evolutionary Scheduling (237-272). Berlin / Heidelberg: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-4

In this chapter we consider the NP-complete problem of university course timetabling. We note that it is often difficult to gain a deep understanding of these sorts of problems due to the fact that so many different types of constraints can ultima...
