Abstract
We present here a metaheuristic approach to the university course timetabling problem using a memetic algorithm with a very effective local search. The algorithm was tested on the International Timetabling Competition benchmark instances. Results are encouraging and show that evolutionary computation with the help of local search can compete with succesful algorithms on the problem.
