  Abstract

This paper presents an approach based on a multi agent system vision for the resolution of the problem of university timetable. This problem is very important. Indeed a bad schedule affects negatively affects the level of student acquisition. This problem is an arduous problem whose handmade achievement is a drastic task that can mobilize several people several days of work without any guarantee on the quality of the found solutions. The proposed approach involves agents to find timetables that constitute a compromise of a multitude of points of view. Each agent works on behalf of a teaching actor. After a first phase where all the possible timetables are generated, a second phase is executed in the form of several iterations. In each cycle, each agent eliminates the least preferred schedule among possible schedules. Thus, it remains timetables that represent compromises between all agents and therefore the teaching actors
