Let G = (V, E, Q) be a undirected graph, where V is the set of vertices, E is the set of edges, and Q = {Q1, . . . , Qq} is a partition of V into q subsets. We refer to Q1, . . . ...

The local search algorithm GSAT is based on the notion of Satisfiability. It has been used successfully for colouring graphs, solving instances of the 3SAT problem, planning block...
Abstract The Examination Timetabling problem regards the scheduling for the exams of a set of university courses, avoiding the overlapping of exams having students in common, fairl...
This paper presents an investigation of a simple generic hyper-heuristic approach upon a set of widely used constructive heuristics (graph coloring heuristics) in timetabling. Wit...
