Abstract

We deal with the Balanced Academic Curriculum Problem, a real world problem that is currently part of CSPLIB. We introduce a Genetic Local Search algorithm to solve this problem using two objectives which is a more realistic model than the one we used in our previous research. The tests carried out show that our algorithm obtains better solutions than systematic search techniques in the same amount of time.
