摘要
We present in this paper an algorithm based upon the Constraint Satisfaction Problem model, used at the "Ecole des Mines de Nantes" to generate examination timetables. A strong constraint is that the computing time must be less than 1 minute. This led us to develop an incomplete algorithm, using local repair techniques, instead of an exhaustive search method. The program has been validated on fifty "hand-made" problems, and has succesfully solved the thirteen "real" problems.
