Abstract

Course scheduling of universities is a large, complex, and time-consuming task. Along the time line of each classroom slots must be able to be allocated to instructors and their classes of different departments without violating any predefined rules. This paper describes the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language) in a course scheduling system which is designed to assist users to solve this resource-constrained timetabling problem. The system is written in Visual Basic .NET and SQL Server 2000 and is successfully deployed to support two schools' course scheduling tasks in Arkansas Tech University.
