TY - JOUR AU - Pillay, Nelishia PY - 2014 DA - 2014/07/01 TI - A survey of school timetabling research JO - Annals of Operations Research SP - 261 EP - 293 VL - 218 IS - 1 AB - Although there has been a fair amount of research in the area of school timetabling, this domain has not developed as well as other fields of educational timetabling such as university course and examination timetabling. This can possibly be attributed to the fact that the studies in this domain have generally been conducted in isolation of each other and have addressed different school timetabling problems. Furthermore, there have been no comparative studies on the success of different methodologies on a variety of school timetabling problems. As a way forward this paper provides an overview of the research conducted in this domain, details of problem sets which are publicly available and proposes areas for further research in school timetabling.
