libwcttt

WCT³ (WIAI Course Timetabling Tool) is a software that strives to automate the timetabling process at the WIAI faculty of the University of Bamberg. It was developed by Nicolas Gross as part of his bachelor thesis at the Software Technologies Research Group (SWT).

This library bundles functionality that is required in both other modules, WCT³-CLI and WCT³-GUI. Moreover, it provides a solid foundation for future work on the topic. The library comprises the data model, a binder (parser + emitter) to store the data as XML files, the implementations of the algorithms as well as functionality to calculate conflicts and their violations.

Notice

Because of an unresolved issue in the JAXB framework, warning messages are printed to stdout if a XML file is parsed/written. The corresponding issue on GitHub can be found here.
