Therefore it is no longer good enough to use the previous year s timetable.

In this approach we modify Scatter Search method and solve the Examination

Timetabling Problem (ETP) with a first solution...

Routing vehicles for schools and and similar services is one of the most visible ....

, four objectives should be optimized where we used the Lp-metric method to aggregate them into a single objective. An integer linear programming model and two metaheuristic algorithms, i.e. memetic and scatter search, have been developed for the studied...

hybrid metaheuristic approach based on the scatter search algorithm is developed to tackle this problem. Using 43 randomly generated benchmark instances, the performance of the scatter search and its components are evaluated. We also applied our procedure...
