Sample Application – Education Institutions

Pannasoft Optima™ aids education institutions in finding optimal solutions to resource scheduling with consideration to multiple constraints using the evolutionary computation model.

Consideration is given to constraints such as undesirable periods, maximum number of teaching hours, minimum lecture/tutorial/lab hours required by each subject and minimal traveling distance between adjacent periods.

Table 1 lists the actual hard and soft constraints based on the requirements gathered from a reputable local private college in Malaysia . The requirements encompassed 26 Programs, 254 Subjects, 76 lecturers and 82 rooms.

BENEFITS FROM USING PANNASOFT OPTIMA™

• student's enrollment and satisfaction will increase from minimized course timing conflicts
• teachers' or lecturers' productivity and quality of service will increase by accommodating their preferred schedule
• cost and resources are reduced from minimized use of facilities
• examination schedules are optimized with respect to time clashes
• time is freed for administrator to focus on other important issues instead of spending hours designing a best-fit schedule to accommodate all constraints

As a result, Pannasoft Optima™ saves education institutions time and resources while minimizing cost and errors.
