A tabu search algorithm to schedule university examinations.

Ramón Alvarez-Valdés, Enric Crespo, José M. Tamarit (1997)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Scheduling examinations in a large university is an increasingly complex problem, due to its size, the growing flexibility of students' curricula and the interest in including a wide set of objectives and constraints. In this paper we present a new algorithm for this problem and its application to a university in Spain. A combination of heuristics, based on Tabu Search, first finds a solution in which no student has two exams simultaneously and then improves it by evenly...

An improved ant algorithm for Multi-mode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem

Peng Wuliang, Huang Min, Hao Yongping (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

Many real-world scheduling problems can be modeled as Multi-mode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems (MRCPSP). However, the MRCPSP is a strong NP-hard problem and very difficult to be solved. The purpose of this research is to investigate a more efficient alternative based on ant algorithm to solve MRCPSP. To enhance the generality along with efficiency of the algorithm, the rule pool is designed to manage numerous priority rules for MRCPSP. Each ant is provided with an...
