Genetic algorithm; Course timetabling issues

The need to schedule specific resources over prefixed timeslots is highly required in many institutions all over the world. This is known as a timetabling problem which is a combinatorial optimization problem. The timetabling problem is an NP-complete problem. University/Course timetabling (U/CTTP) is considered one of these problems. It requires scheduling of a certain number of courses over a time within a specific resource such as teachers, rooms, students, and other special equipment. It also requires several constraints which must be satisfied. Each institution has a different perspective on its timetabling and differs from other institutions because of the diversity of constraints. This project aims to solve the course timetabling problem at the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology - Girls Section Tabuk University. A genetic algorithm (GA) will be employed to address this problem. A real data set from the faculty of computer science and information technology- Girls Section is applied as our benchmarking data set. This project will require a computer terminal with suitable programming software.
