Automatic Course Scheduling by Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

25240

Scheduling is an assignment making process normatively in specific time intervals by regarding resource constraints. Preparation process of syllabus is one of the scheduling types for educational institutions. The purpose is placement of term courses to the timeline in the framework of determined constraints. In educational institutions, syllabus is usually prepared manually by administrators. In this study, a programme that does not require manual preparation and prepares a syllabus automatically has been developed. In the programme, term courses of Süleyman Demirel University Gelendost Vocational School and course assignments have been used. By examining the previous studies and regarding the needs of Gelendost Vocational School, constraints of problem have been determined. To solve the problem, in C# programming language, using artificial bee colony algorithm, a programme with an interactive user interface has been developed. As a result of studies, a suitable course schedule has been formed with used algorithm and taken reports of these schedules.
