An Algorithm to Automatically Generate Schedule for
School Lectures Using a Heuristic Approach

Abstract— An Algorithm to Automatically Generate Schedule for School Lectures Using a Heuristic Approach. a general solution for the School timetabling problem. Most heuristic < Final Year Projects 2016 > examination proposed earlier approaches the problem from the students’ point of view. This solution, however, works from the teachers’ point of view i.e. teacher availability for a given time slot. While all the hard constraints (e.g. the availability of teachers, etc.) are resolved rigorously, the scheduling solution presented in this paper is an adaptive one, with a primary aim to solve the issue of clashes of lectures and subjects, pertaining to teachers.in most walks of life, its presence with other operational research problems cannot be overlooked. For e.g., in scheduling sports timetables, consideration is not only given to scheduling a sport event, but also to reducing the cost factor, distance traveled by teams, etc. The Traveling tournament [18], where the to tal distance traveled by the team is minimized, further increas ed the academic interest in sports scheduling
