Chapter Chapter 4 in Fairness in Academic Course Timetabling, 2015, pp 107-128 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We present a case study on automating the creation of course timetables at the school of engineering of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). We will address the formal model and discuss its relation to the popular CB-CTT problem model used for benchmarking. Furthermore, we will discuss relevant issues that arise when creating course timetables in practice. In particular, we will report on the integration of the timetabling system in the organizational framework, feedback mechanisms, acceptance issues, and quality management.
