A partial view of OR in Switzerland

Article Abstract:

Operations research (OR) activities are alive and strong in Switzerland. The Assn. Suisse de Recherche Operationelle has a membership of 267 in addition to the 6,985,135 non-members who practice OR. In addition, the ten universities and two institutes of technology offer OR courses and carry out OR in cooperation with industries. At present, their work is concentrated on the areas of distribution, production, logistics, chemistry and scheduling.

Constructing a course schedule by solving a series of assignment type problems

Article Abstract:

A strategy was formulated to address constrained course scheduling problems. The strategy's main objective is to decompose the constrained course scheduling problem into a set of solvable subproblems. Decomposition of the scheduling problem allows for the establishment of an initial solution that takes into consideration constraints that tend to create a structure on the schedule.
