    Hello,
    I'm a highschool student and I'm tring to make a program involving
    timetabling.
    I'm reading papers about some techniques to handle that but I'm still
    confused about which method I have to pick (genetic algorithm, tabu search,
    etc).

    The program I want to make deals with examination management.
    But it's an oral examination.

    There are several teachers competent for one or more kinds of test.
    The teachers are grouped in couples (determined by the program) to make up
    jurys.
    Only 1 student can have a test with a jury at a certain timeslot.
    Workload for each jury will be evenly allocated (except if constraint).

    There will be some other optional constraints like :
    a teacher is not available a certain day.
    taking in account favorite timeslots for students and teachers.

    I will make the program in csharp and I don't want to use third-party
    modules.

    So what algorithm technique do you think I should to do that ?

    Thanks

    Alain
