A web-based decision support system for examination timetabling

作者：

Highlights：

• Exam timetabling and supervisor assignment of a vocational school are studied.

• Both problems are modeled using MIP models.

• A decomposition algorithm is proposed for exam timetabling.

• Optimal timetables are found in a few minutes even with an open source solver.

• A web based DSS employing the proposed solution is developed.
