`TALIKA' AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR TIME TABLE MAKING

Abstract

The problem of Time-Table making in Universities, Schools can be eased by using the enormous power of computers, and to the advantage of all i.e. students, instructors,and administration. Students and Instructors are aided by having a routine that causes less fatigue and less monotony. To the administration it keeps an eye on the room allotment to different classes. In this dissertation, an attempt has been made to develop an Expert System for Time-Table making. It allots time-periods to different classes and courses, while observing different constraints involved in making the time-table more acceptable to all- students, instructors, and the administration. The realisation of an EXPERT SYSTEM for Time-Table Making required the assembly of all possible constraints while alloti_ng a particular time-period to a Course. An input module has been developed, which is menu-driven and inputs the various entries with a prompt for every entry. An 'output' module has also been developed, which gives the output of time-table, in a variety of forms, to the aid of the User.
