A Survey of Automated Timetabling
, 1999
"... The timetabling problem consists in scheduling a sequence of lectures between teachers and students in a prefixed period of time (typically a week), satisfying a set of constraints of various types. A large number of variants of the timetabling problem have been proposed in the literature, which d ..."

Recent Research Directions in Automated Timetabling
- ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION IN EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF OPERATIONAL RESEARCH – EJOR
, 2002
"... The aim of this paper is to give a brief introduction to some recent approaches to timetabling problems that have been developed or are under development in the Automated Scheduling, Optimisation and Planning Research Group (ASAP) at the University of Nottingham. We have concentrated upon university ..."

university timetabling but we believe that some of the methodologies that are described can be used for different timetabling problems such as employee timetabling, timetabling of sports fixtures, etc. The paper suggests a number of approaches and comprises three parts. Firstly, recent heuristic
Timetabling: Lectures
"... Effective data management is key to any organisation, particularly with the increasing availability of large and heterogeneous datasets (e.g. transactional, multimedia and geo-spatial data). A database is an organised collection of data, typically describing the activities of one or more organisatio ..."

management, relational database design and a flavour of some advanced topics in current database research that deal with different kinds of data and organisational context. Lectures are structured into three main areas: (1) an introduction to databases, (2) the process of designing relational databases
A General View on Timetabling Problems
, 2002
"... When applying solution methods to different timetabling problems such as university timetabling, employee timetabling or school timetabling, always the same basic structure of the problem arises. We present an approach to generalize all timetabling problems, i.e. we describe the general structure of ..."

The Complexity of Timetable Construction Problems
- In Burke and Ross [BR96
"... This paper shows that timetable construction is NP-complete in a number of quite different ways that arise in practice, and discusses the prospects of overcoming these problems. A formal specification of the problem based on TTL, a timetable specification language, is given. Specificially, we show t ..."

Universal Method for Timetable Construction based on Evolutionary Approach
, 2006
"... Timetabling problems are often hard and timeconsuming to solve. Most of the methods of solving them concern only one problem instance or class. This paper describes a universal method for solving large, highly constrained timetabling problems from different domains. The solution is based on evoluti ..."
