TL;DR

A study of mathematical programming approaches to time-tabling resulted in the development of an algorithm based on Lagrangean relaxation embedded in a branch and bound procedure, which is applied to a more modest-sized problem based on published real data.

Abstract

A study of mathematical programming approaches to time-tabling has resulted in the development of an algorithm based on Lagrangean relaxation embedded in a branch and bound procedure. The algorithm is still under development for larger scale problems, but this paper reports on its application to a more modest-sized problem based on published real data.
