Automatic Timetable generation using Permutation and Decision Making

Computer Engineering

Assigning timetable for all the faculty to finish the syllabus in time is always a tough task. This is mainly because of the problem of assignments of the subjects to the faculties in a given stipulated time. The reason behind this is, every teacher is loaded with a certain amount of workload hours every day, and in some scenarios this workload is being distributed in shifts. So for managing time, according to each of the staff's requirements while creating the Timetable is really a cumbersome task. The major hurdle that is facing in this task is overlapping of the teaching hours. So a very few existing software tools are there in online which are eventually creates automatic time table based on the input of the staff load. But all of them are very costly or they never reveal their characteristics to the before buying. So to introduce a powerful and cost effective method of generating the time table for the input details like number of allocated hours for theory and a number of allocated hours for lab for a given teaching staff is the much needed thing in the research. So this proposed system puts forwards an idea of using the Shannon Information gain theory and Data permutation technique for the synchronous data allocation process. And this idea is catalyzed by decision making process which eventually yields a good Timetable without overlapping of the scheduled time.
