Abstract

UTTSExam is the exam-scheduling portion of the University Timetable Scheduler (UTTS) software, an automated university timetabling program developed in the National University of Singapore. It was successfully used to schedule the examination timetable for the first semester of the 2001/2002 academic year in NUS, a task involving 27,235 students taking 1,350 exams. The use of the software resulted in significant time savings in the scheduling of the timetable and a shortening of the examination period. This paper explains the development and design of UTTSExam.
