I am a student of ladoke akintola university, and I am working on my final year project: "Examination of time tabling usign simulated annealing". Can anyone help me out?

Solution 1

No, we can't. Reasons:

1 - you've listed every possible language, surely you're not using them all ?
2 - this is YOUR final year project, and you've not asked us for help, you've just told us what you need. If we gave you code, why do you think you'd deserve to pass ?
3 - I have no idea what simmulated annealing is. Either way, I hope it's complex, to make an examination time table app worthy of a final year exam project.

thanks for your reply,i can write codes only on java and c#,and i have a trouble doing that,simmulated annealing is a heuristic method of generating an actual solution to a given problem definition and mine is examination time tabling...

Solution 2

We help on specific problems.

What's your trouble about?
Do you understand the problem domain?
Did you understand the simulated annealing technique?
Do you know one of the tagged proagramming languages?

:)

What is simulated annealing ? Sounds like something used to build one of my guitars. (off to google)

Cool - I found the wiki entry ( I bet the OP has not ). Sounds interesting.

Yes, it is really interesting, and easy to grasp (even if you haven't a physical background) and code. Unfortunately 'my optimization problems' never got a real benefit using it (however it works very well for the proposed samples, like the 'traveling salesman' problem).

BTW 'cool' is really the appropriate adjective. :-)

no not at all, simmulated annealing is an heuristic method of generating a definite and actual solution to a given problem.thanks for your comment

What do you mean with 'not at all?'
BTW is 'simulated' annealing. It is an optimization technique that mimics a physical phenomenon, and yes, it is based on heuristic. It usually finds one of the possible good solutions. Could you please give us any hint on what your problem is (i.e. what has it to do with the time-tables?)?
However, you know, the trick is in the 'energy' function definition.
