Schedule management application: Automatic schedule generation using network flow algorithm

Abstract

© 2014 IEEE. For any school, university and organization, creating and managing schedules are tedious and troublesome. Resources which are people, time and places, are limited. However, we need to find solutions that fit to all of these constraints. The schedule management application is proposed to handle the scheduling process which is time-consuming by automatically assigning time slot and generating class schedules. The automatic scheduling applies network flow algorithm to match resources and assign them to classes. This application also enables the user to edit the generated schedule to better suit their specific needs. Some of the most significant benefits of this application are reduction of time spent and elimination of human errors, thus the schedules are expected to be published faster.
