The abstract follows.

Educational timetabling problems consist in scheduling a sequence of
events (lectures, seminars, or exams) involving teachers and students in
a prefixed period of time, satisfying a set of constraints of various
types. In this talk, we critically review different formulations, public
datasets, and search methods. In particular, we illustrate local search
methods, their parameter tuning procedure, and their results. Finally,
we discuss practical issues involved in the actual solution of
timetabling problems.

The next talk in our series will be in September, stay tuned.

Zdenek, Mike and Guohua
