UNIVERSITY COURSE SCHEDULING PROBLEMS IN CASE OF CONSIDERATION OF THE USER PREFERENCES

Journal Title: Endüstri Mühendisliği - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 1

Abstract

In this study, a multi objective 0-1 integer mathematical model is proposed for the purpose of obtaining high-quality solutions to an educational timetabling problem faced a few times in each term in the universities. The course-room-time slot scheduling problem which assigns events (course) to resources (room-time slot) is a big dimensional problem based on the number of constraints and variables. The solution to this problem requires intensive labor and resources. Thus, the problem is important for educational institutions, and also is a difficult problem. Beside the main assignment constraints, each of them has its own specific constraint and objectives changing from one institution to another. The mathematical model which is developed by considering the user preferences with a multi criteria decision making model was experimented by using the data of a department in Anadolu University. During the solution step, the weighted sum scalarization method is used and it is seen that the mathematical model found the optimal solution within a reasonable time. The outcome is compared with the current schedule. The proposed approach gives better solutions will increase overall performance of the educational systems from the point of students and instructors.
