SOME EXAMPLES OF EDUCATIONAL CASES WHERE MIMOSA IS USED

Class-Teacher Timetabling: This problem is normally associated with secondary or primary schools where the students are scheduled as a "class". All students in the same class take exactly the same set of courses. Typically, teachers and classes are busy most of the day, and the problem is to find times when each teacher can meet with his/her required classes with no conflicts.

Course Timetabling: In course timetabling, the system is used to help the user determine the day and time to offer each section of each course. The objective is normally to find a course timetable that minimizes the number of (potential) student conflicts while respecting teacher, room and equipment restrictions. Unlike the "Class-Teacher" setting, students typically have more flexibility in selecting courses, which adds to the complexity of the problem.

Student Scheduling (Student Sectioning): Student scheduling normally occurs after the timetable has been determined. In some schools, courses can be offered in more than one section (i.e., different instructors may offer the same course at different times) and a student scheduling package helps the user decide which students should be allocated to each section to minimize student conflicts and balance section sizes.

Teacher Assignment: Normally, each teacher in a school will have a number of different possible courses that he/she could teach. The teacher assignment problem helps the user to assign teachers to courses to maximize teacher satisfaction, cover all of the required courses and avoid conflicts.

Classroom Assignment: Classroom assignment normally takes place after the timetable has been fixed. Each course section must be assigned to a specific classroom to meet capacity, location, preference and special equipment restrictions.

All these cases can be used in a same file with a user-defined calendar and/or terms selection. Other supported special cases are Fully individuated timetables, Block scheduling, Intake scheduling and Cycling timetables, just to name few.
