Evolutionary optimisation of Methodist preaching timetables
David Corne,R. D. J. Ogden +1 more
TL;DR: Various simple approaches to the problem of finding a suitable preaching timetable are looked at, which draw on the two main styles of approach to stochastic iterative timetabling (direct and indirect representations), and three well-known search techniques are compared: evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, and hillclimbing.
