Design and implementation of intellective class scheduling system based on negotiation

Abstract

This research proposes the design and implementation of intellective class scheduling system. Based on the negotiation techniques of Multi-Agent System, the study aims to concern about majority teachers' expectations, intending to solve teacher's satisfaction problem of course timetable. First, we present some basic problems about class scheduling. Second, we present a multi-agent model of class scheduling system where heterogeneous agents have different tasks. Third, we define the process of the class scheduling system. Following that, we discuss the application about negotiation for the multi-agent scheduling system. In the next part, some experiments for class scheduling are introduced. Finally, we conclude on the perspectives of future researches and developments for the new generation of our systems.
