摘要: In this paper we present the results of an investigation possibilities offered by three well-known metaheuristic algorithms to solve timetable problem, a multi-constrained, NP-hard, combinatorial optimization problem with real-world applications. First, our model including definition hierarchical structure for objective function, and neighborhood search operators which apply matrices representing timetables. Then report about outcomes utilization implemented systems specific case generation school timetable. We compare obtained simu lated annealing, tabu two versions, without local search, genetic algorithm. Our show that GA based on temporary relaxations both outperform simulated annealing handmade
