Abstract
Examination timetabling represents one of the earliest and most studied problem domains in hyper-heuristics (HH). Different interesting research issues have been addressed in the literature, from high-level heuristic selection mechanisms and acceptance criteria and designing intelligent low-level heuristics, to fundamental studies on the formal definition of the two search spaces at the two levels. Promising results have been obtained and progress has been made on designing simple and effective approaches across different benchmarks as well as real-world problems.
