摘要: Course timetabling is an important and recurring administrative activity in most educational institutions. This chapter describes automated configuration of a generic memetic algorithm to solving this problem. shows competitive results on well-known instances compared against top participants the recent International ITC2007 Timetabling Competition. Importantly, our study illustrates case where algorithms with increased autonomy generality achieve performance human designed problem-specific algorithms.
