Resumo


O artigo relata o emprego de metaheurísticas na resolução do Problema do Agendamento de Horário de Aulas, um exemplar da classe Educational Timetabling Problem. As três técnicas metaheurísticas empregadas foram: (1a) In Vitro Fertilization Genetic Algorithm; (2a) Tabu Search; e (3a) Gre-edy Ramdomized Adaptative Search Procedure. A experimentação foi realizada com instâncias reais do problema advindas de uma escola brasileira dedicada à oferta do ensino fundamental e, adicionalmente, de datasets amplamente conhecidos. Verifica-se que os métodos são capazes de produzir soluções adequadas para utilização prática em seus contextos, sendo que o método In Vitro superou os demais para o objetivo de otimização estabelecido.

Palavras-chave: Metaheurística, Educational Timetabling Problem, Vitro Fertilization, Genetic Algorithm.
