Abstract :
This paper develops an automated tool for generating the student´s course schedule. A lot of students course schedule are manually generated based on syllabus information, such as class title, summary and categories written by the teachers. However, at a large number of classes, it is very exhaustive to manually generate the course schedule forthe students, due to various constraint condition or criteria. Thus, this paper has formalizes this problem as a constraintsatisfaction/optimization problem, develops an automated tool, and evaluates the effectiveness of our system.
