Schedule Planner: Suez Canal University Faculty of Computer and Informatics Department of Computer Science

This document outlines an academic planner project that aims to automate the process of scheduling college lectures and assignments. It details the problem of current manual scheduling, input such as subjects and lecturer availability, and the proposed output of an Excel schedule file. A backtracking algorithm using data structures is suggested to brute force scheduling solutions. Visual Basic.NET and Visual Studio 2008 would be used to develop a GUI interface to view and export automated schedules.

The problem
 Every year the college lectures schedule
made by hand and try and error
approach.
 Schedule made using lots of restrictions
like limitations of doctors free times.
 Making a schedule by hand is a very
long and tedious process.

Academic Planner 3
Analysis (Input)
 Study period every day.
 Study placed
 Subjects and lecture time
 College grades their places and subjects
 Study Days in Week
 Doctors names, subjects and free times

Academic Planner 4
Analysis (Output)
 The need to print and view schedule on
any machine force us to export the
schedule to a well known format
 Schedule will be exported to an Excel
file.

Solution (Overview)
 A backtrack approach could be taken here.
 As we can brute force the units to get available
one doctor schedule then build the next doctor
schedule upon it.
 Failure to get a solution in one stage backtrack
the process to the previous stage to get the next
solution.
 After completing all the doctors we can find the
required schedule
 We can continue to brute force the stages to get
multiple solutions, and not only one solution.
