| Abstract: | The construction of timetable usually involving three or more variables taking values from domains having thousands of values, with several dozens of constraints having different priorities, is a problem common to many educational institutions. Various heuristic solutions have been proposed to timetabling problem using results based on Tabu Search, Logic Approach, Simulated Annealing. This project tries to use Genetic Algorithm approach developed by John. H. Holland to solve this problem. Genetic Algorithm is an appealing approach for scheduling since it is a relatively easy and flexible problem encoding method. To achieve the optimum results, it is found that the mutation operator and crossover operator have to be manipulated. Also, reproduction technique has to be modified to obtain a feasible solution. |
