Description
Summary:This paper describes the development and implementation of a parallel genetic algorithm (GA) to solve scheduling the university class problem. The proposed GA is based on the "farmer-workers" model and uses a number of heuristics, e. g. classroom and time selection during population initialization, adding useful subsolutions into the initial population, using special (new) mutation operator. In the algorithm a specific chromosome coding and fitness function that takes into account a number of restrictions on the resulting schedule are proposed. Problem-specific crossover and mutation operators are developed. Based on a number of computational experiments optimal parameters of GA are proposed for further use.
