Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Conference programs are required to satisfy wide variety of constraints and, therefore, organizing conference programs takes much effort and long processing time. The session scheduling problem is one of combinatorial optimization problems, and is known to be NP-hard. We have already proposed local search-based algorithms to organize conference programs in short computing time with quality of solutions being kept as high as possible. In this paper, we are going to improve these algorithms by incorporating both a new method of generating initial solutions and neighborhood swapping with emphasis on consistency between research fields of papers and sessions that include them. Their capability is evaluated through computer experiment.
