| Abstract | A heuristic approach for the quadratic assignment problem
(QAP) is formulated and applied to a study on timetable
scheduling of courses. To suit the requirement of the study, an
interactive approach is incorporated to the original algorithm .
Modification with regards to faculty preference and
unavailability, and other requirements is achieved ~sing the
interface manipulation. To fulfill the objectives of the study, an automated system package for constructing timetable schedule
was developed and tested in the mainframe.
The results produced can be obtained in two ways : on screen
and as print-outs. Using the developed system, man- hours spent
in the preparation and generation of timetable is reduced. With
the interactive approach , the solution to the problem is more
satisfactory . Finally, from the computational experience in
using the developed mode l, only a few hours are needed in the
construction of the timetables. The response time of the computer process is at an acceptable level. |
