Abstract: |
Simulation modelling of the initial assignments of exams to time-slots
provides an alternative approach to the establishment of a set of feasible
solutions that are subsequently optimized. In this research, we analyze two
backtracking strategies for reassigning exams after the initial allocation of
exams to time-slots. We propose two approaches for backtracking, BTl and BT2. The study indicates that backtracking is an
effective approach for improving the quality of the examination schedule
where BT2 has outperformed BTl in a number of
cases. |
