Abstract

Timetable problem is a NP-hard problem where different constraints and various resources are applied but the resources are limited. Optimization problem is a technique which can handle different constraints. This paper focuses the Bee colony Optimization (BCO) for finding the optimal solutions of course time table.BCO is a Meta heuristic optimization scheme where NP-hard with different parameter settings are solved. There are two objectives, first objective is to provide the introduction to timetabling and second objective is the BCO and their variations with timetable design. The proposed algorithm is used to construct the course time table and optimized that time table.
