Abstract

A new approach for evaluating the quality of University timetables is proposed. This approach uses a multicriterion expert system with two quality
indexes: the average penalty imposed on timetabling and highest penalty imposed on one of the constraints. The system based on a series of intelligible rules and use the algorithms of fuzzy logic for getting the final evaluation of timetabling was created. An algorithm for searching a set of Pareto optimal timetables based on the Pareto simulated annealing algorithm is constructed.
