| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we apply genetic algorithms (GA) to the timetabling problem for universities. There exist many constraints in the timetabling problem for universities regarding the size and the kind of rooms for classes. It is difficult to obtain an acceptable solutionby the simple genetic algorithm (SGA) which performs timetabling of classes and allocation of rooms to classes at the same time. In this paper, we present a method which employs GA in two phases. In the first phase, the method performs gene manipulations for timetabling and room allocation seperately. In the second phase, combinations of genes for timetabling and room allocation are evaluated. These two phases are iterated until we get satisfiable solution. Through computer simulations, we compare the performance of SGA with that of our method. |
