There is a growing need to automatically timetable viva presentations for postgraduate candidates due to the increasing number of students enrolled each year, and hence, requiring additional personnel effort. The automatic timetabling process involves the assignment of the people involved in the viva timetable into a limited number of timeslots and rooms. In order to produce a feasible timetable,...
In this research, we introduce a stratified random sampling technique that guides the selection mechanism to select the events (exams) for the integrated two-stage multi-neighbourhood tabu search (ITMTS) in solving examination timetabling problem. This technique is used during the timetable improvement phase especially when dealing with the exhaustive search mechanism in order to reduce the possibilities...
One primary objective in solving the job shop scheduling problems is to minimize the makespan, which is a particularly hard combinatorial optimization problem. The problem has been known for years and a vast majority of researches had been focused to solve the problem using a variety of optimization methods such as the branch and bound (B&B). However, the B&B method is considered as only suitable...
