This is a web-based application with dumy data in the database. You can clear the data and edit it as you want.
-
There is also a console program in the attachments, which is an implementation of the genetic algorithm that is used to test the process of generating a timetable before moving to develop the main web-based application.
-
To use the application, all you have to do is download it and run it either through the VS IDE or through the CMD command window.
-
The desired goals of generating the timetable (i.e., what have been optimized in the genetic algorithm) are to [1] generate a schedule that is free of conflicts or contradictions at all levels (hard constraint), [2] fulfills the teachers desires for preferred times and rooms (soft constraint), and [3] reduces the waiting time between lectures for students (soft constraint).
-
