A Multiobjective Programming Model for University Course Timetabling Problem

The university timetabling problem is one of principal management problem in the beginning of each semester in the colleges. There are many limitations related to classes, teachers and students that increase computational complexity and put the problem in the field of ”NP-Hard” class. In this study we tried to solve this problem in terms of zero-one multiobjective programming and devise a mathematical model of the problem using a minimum number of variables. The proposed approach is based on activity in order to reduce the number of variables to modeling the problem in an acceptable level.
