Master’s Thesis Topic: University Course Timetabling at TUM Campus Straubing
Creating good course timetables at a university is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem that has received considerable interest in the optimization and operations research literature (cf. [1]). In principle, the tasks consists of assigning weekly lectures to time slots and rooms while respecting a number of hard constraints. For instance, a lecturer can teach at most one lecture at a time, no two lectures can take place in the same room at the same time and no two lectures of the same curriculum must be scheduled in parallel.
