This paper presents an Adaptive Tabu Search algorithm (denoted by ATS) for solving a problem of curriculum-based course timetabling. The proposed algorithm follows a general frame...
In this study we have tackled the NP-hard problem of academic class scheduling (or timetabling) at the university level. We have investigated a variety of approaches based on simu...

The design of a quality timetable for the Dutch Railways is a complex task, because of the characteristics of the railway services. The complexity of the network and the heavily i...
Crew scheduling problems at the planning level are typically solved in two steps: first, creating working patterns, and then assigning these to individual crew. The first step is ...
Many optimisation problems contain substructures involving constraints on sequences of decision variables. Such constraints can be very complex to express with mixed integer progra...
