Abstract(in English) This paper presents a WEB-based supporting system for class assignments to English teachers in Okayama University. Currently, this assignment of class times and subjects to English teachers has been handled manually, after the preference data for them are provided on paper from teachers, which takes costs and long time. In our proposed system, the requests can be input by English teachers through their browsers, and the assignment is automatically computed on a server computer. For this purpose, we develop a heuristic algorithm for this class assignment problem after defining the formulation as a combinatorial optimization problem. By using real preference data by teachers, we compare assignment results between our method and the conventional one. The result shows the superiority of our method in terms of the assignment quality and the required process time.
