Abstract

The High School Timetabling Problem requires assignment of timeslots and resources to events, respecting given constraints. The most common approaches for this type of timetabling problems are meta-heuristics. This work presents a matheuristic approach combining a Variable Neighbourhood Search algorithm with mathematical programming-based neighbourhoods for high school timetabling. The computational experiments on well-known benchmark instances demonstrate the success of the proposed matheuristic approach, improving the 14 out of 17 best known solutions from the XHSTT-2014 archive.
