Abstract

A common source of conflict in many educational centers is the examination scheduling and the allocation of classrooms to examinations. This paper proposes a process where this solution is made in successive steps in interaction with the computer. This procedure has the advantage of coping with the objectives of the decision makers without the necessity of formally defining any objective function, in order to permit the choice of an acceptable solution from the feasibility set.
