A fast simulated annealing algorithm for the examination timetabling problem

The timetabling problem involves the scheduling of a set of entities (e.g., lectures, exams, vehicles, or people) to a set of resources in a limited number of time slots, while satisfying a set of constraints. In this paper, a new variant of the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, named FastSA, is p...
