Please also note that rooms used for lessons of various departments are considered to be cross-departmental resources. The scheduling of cross-departmental resources is performed according to availability, i.e. according to the principle of “first come, first served”.

 

 

 

In the example above the gym (SH1) is a cross-departmental resource.

 

The ME department begins the creation of the the sports timetable; all the periods in the timetable are available for optimisation. The EE department is then optimised; all periods excluding those occupied by the ME department are available. In the final step the SE department’s timetable is created with the remaining vacantperiods of the room SH1.
