Abstract
The Examination Scheduling Problem, known as ESP, is a recurrent and cumbersome administrative task that schools and universities need to solve regularly. Those organizations devote a large amount of human and material resources to this every year. The ESP is a famous combinatorial optimization problem with no standardized method to solve it. In this thesis, several methods are briefly explained and discussed. This paper tackles the examination scheduling of the Louvain School of Management (LSM-UCLouvain) faculty in two Belgian campuses, Louvain-La-Neuve and Mons. The Iterated Local Search meta-heuristic is used in that instance. The model presented in this thesis maximizes the student’s study time while respecting the faculty specifications and constraints.
