The task is typically to create a timetable that suits the requirements of the stakeholders – students, lecturers, and the administration – as well as possible. The book presents an exposition of the basic combinatorial problems and solution methods for course timetabling and related tasks. It provides a rigorous treatment of fairness issues that arise in the course timetabling context and shows how to deal with the potentially conflicting interests of the stakeholders. The proposed methods are also readily applicable to other classes of scheduling problems such as staff rostering. Finally, it presents a comprehensive case study on the implementation of an automated course timetabling system at the school of engineering of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. The case study includes a detailed description of the problem model as well as an evaluation of stakeholder satisfaction.Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,2196-9957 ;678Operations researchComputer scienceMathematicsDiscrete mathematicsMathematical optimizationInformation technologyManagementSchool management and organizationSchool administrationOperations Research and Decision TheoryDiscrete Mathematics in Computer ScienceDiscrete OptimizationComputer Application in Administrative Data ProcessingOrganization and LeadershipOperations research.Computer scienceMathematics.Discrete mathematics.Mathematical optimization.Information technologyManagement.School management and organization.School administration.Operations Research and Decision Theory.Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science.Discrete Optimization.Computer Application in Administrative Data Processing.Organization and Leadership.004004.0151330371.2519.6658.40301Mühlenthaler Moritzauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059978BOOK9910298517403321Fairness in Academic Course Timetabling2510033UNINA
