A lagrangian heuristic for integrated timetabling and vehicle scheduling

, 2018
In this paper we propose a Lagrangian heuristic approach to solve the integrated timetabling and vehicle scheduling problem. The approach was developed in a tight collaboration between Universita di Pisa and M.A.I.O.R, a company producing software for ...

Evolutionary Data Mining Design to Visualize the Examination Timetabling Data at a University: A First Round Development. [PDF]

, 2007
Examination scheduling ("timetabling") at a University is a determined challenge. Allocating exam stipulate “time slots" requires most advanced quantitative techniques. This study takes an alternate approach of applying the principles of data mining

Midwifery Students' Definitions of Normal Labor and Birth: A Study From Five Countries

Birth, EarlyView.
The image brings together the seven aspects considered most important in defining ‘normal/physiological birth’ according to research carried out among 664 student midwives across five countries. ABSTRACT Introduction Internationally, many women and birthing people are receiving maternity care interventions as a routine with no medical indication for ...

Multi-neighbourhood local search with application to course timetabling

, 2003
One of the most critical features for applying local search to timetabling problems is the definition of the neighbourhood structure. In fact, for most common timetabling problems, there is more than one neighbourhood structure that is sufficiently ...

Some culture is hiding in plain sight in research on child development

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Child development is cultural in nature, yet a divide persists between a (cross‐)cultural developmental science niche alongside a seemingly a‐cultural mainstream. In particular, childhood research relying on convenience sampling in often Western, post‐industrial (i.e., WEIRD) societies rarely ventures into issues of culture and context ...

A supernodal formulation of vertex colouring with applications in course timetabling

, 2010
For many problems in scheduling and timetabling, the choice of a mathematical programming formulation is determined by the formulation of the graph colouring component.

Child and school staff perceptions and experiences of universal social and emotional learning curricula in context: A qualitative case study registered report examining ‘Passport Skills for Life’

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background There is increasing interest in the circumstances under which universal school‐based social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions can be most effective, and how implementation moderates intervention outcomes. We focus on the implementation of ‘Passport Skills for Life’, an SEL intervention that has been introduced into over 100

A Hybrid Immune Genetic Algorithm to Solve University Time Table Problems

Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2017
Timetabling problems are complex optimization tasks which can be difficult to solve, especially when trying to achieve the optimal results. Moreover, they are also known to be NP-hard (Non-deterministic Polynomial-time hard) problems.

Measurability and reproducibility in timetabling research: State-of-the-art and discussion (invited paper)

, 2006
In this paper, we first discuss the level of compliance for timetabling research to two important research qualities, namely measurability and reproducibility, analyzing what we believe are the most important contributions in the literature. Secondly, we
