Abstract

This paper is the organizers’ report on the Third International Timetabling Competition (ITC2011), run during 2011–2012 with the aim of raising the profile of automated high school timetabling. Its participants tackled 35 instances of the high school timetabling problem, taken from schools in 10 countries. The paper describes the data model used, the competition, and the results.
