The goal of the dissertation study was to evaluate the existing DG scheduling algorithm. The evaluation was developed through previously explored simulated analyses of DGs performed by researchers in the field of DG scheduling optimization and to improve the current RT framework of the DG at TTU. The author analyzed the RT of an actual DG, thereby…

The experience of two schools indicates that computer agencies may not yet have the capacity to adapt their systems to the changing needs of schools with sufficient rapidity, especially in the context of future staffing uncertainties generated by falling enrollments. (Author/IRT)

This document shows how computer technology can aid educators in meeting demands for improved class scheduling and more efficient use of transportation resources. The first section surveys literature on operational systems that provide individualized scheduling for students, varied class structures, and maximum use of space and staff skills.…

In the two-step process of student scheduling, the initial phase of course selection is the most important. At Chesterton High School in Indiana, student self-scheduling is preferred over computer loading. (Author/MLF)

A basic approach is offered that is applicable to any multibuilding maintenance program. (MLF)

Sets forth the many factors involved in deciding whether to purchase, lease, or contract for transportation scheduling services. Describes how one school district solved the problem. (Author/MLF)

The New Paltz, New York, school district has used the IBM Vehicle Scheduling Program (VSP) for scheduling its bus runs. In the process the district has reduced its transportation costs by 33.9 percent over a two-year period. (IRT)

Introduces a computer program for school bus routing. (MLF)

Academic/administrative data processing is centralized in one computer facility at East Tennessee State University. Students check computer printouts listing course availability, fill out one schedule card, present it to an operator at a computer terminal, and are able to register for classes in less than a minute. (Author/MLF)

Ten units in higher education employing computer techniques which used a key measure relecting the relative degree of flexibility available to an institution for scheduling its instructional program are reported upon. Other measures which have been employed are described in the form of a short history of space utilization in higher education and…

The Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge campus, has a preventive maintenance program whose activities are scheduled by computer, resulting in savings of over $200,000 per year. (Author)

Consideration is given to a computer technology approach for studying and developing the best utilization pattern for any complex of academic facilities. The approach basically involves simulating a variety of possible class schedules and then decisively implementing the one schedule that best approximates the existing standard for utilization and…

This study was commissioned to investigate the special transportation problems in parent-choice school districts and to prepare a handbook to assist transportation supervisors in overcoming these problems. Intended for school districts that have alternative schools, open enrollment plans, magnet schools, or other kinds of parent and student choice…
