Multi-neighbourhood simulated annealing for the ITC-2007 capacitated examination timetabling problem
Abstract
We propose a multi-neighbourhood simulated annealing algorithm for the ITC-2007 version of the capacitated examination timetabling problem. The proposed solver is based on a combination of existing as well as newly proposed neighbourhoods that better exploit the disconnected structure of the underlying conflict graph and that explicitly deal with the assignment of exams to rooms. We use a principled tuning procedure to determine the parameters of the algorithm and assess the contribution of the various neighbourhoods by means of an ablation analysis. The resulting algorithm is able to compete with existing state-of-the-art solvers and finds several new best solutions for a variety of well-known problem instances.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Scheduling provides a recognized global forum for the publication of all forms of scheduling research. First published in June 1998, Journal of Scheduling covers advances in scheduling research, such as the latest techniques, applications, theoretical issues and novel approaches to problems. The journal is of direct relevance to the areas of Computer Science, Discrete Mathematics, Operational Research, Engineering, Management, Artificial Intelligence, Construction, Distribution, Manufacturing, Transport, Aerospace and Retail and Service Industries. These disciplines face complex scheduling needs and all stand to gain from advances in scheduling technology and understanding.
