Abstract
The task of examination timetabling at universities is becoming more difficult as student numbers rise and student choice widens. Many universities are turning to computerised scheduling packages, and this article outlines various stages of the computerisation of the examination process at Swansea University. The practical issues involved in designing and implementing a system based on simulated annealing are addressed and the benefits and problems of the system are discussed.Keywords
