College scheduling program. Schedule - school planner

There are eight main modifications of the program for various educational institutions:
. AVTOR School - for secondary schools, lyceums and gymnasiums;
. AVTOR College - for colleges, technical schools and vocational schools;
. AVTOR Art College - for schools of art and culture;
. AVTOR High School - for universities (full-time education);
. AVTOR High School Semestric - for universities (correspondence course);
. AVTOR M High School Semestric - for military universities;
. AVTOR Educational Centers - for educational centers, CPC and IPK;
. AVTOR High Shool Pro - for universities with several remote educational buildings, taking into account the time of moving between them (full-time and part-time education, online version).

History of creation and development of the system.
. The first version of the AUTHOR-2 program (under MS DOS) was developed by RSU researcher Igor Gubenko in April 1993. The program was originally intended for scheduling in a multidisciplinary lyceum at the RSU with enhanced study of a foreign language, computer science and many special subjects (where classes are divided into 2-4 subgroups and can be combined into streams). Already the first version of the program made it possible to build correct schedules.
. Then the program was tested in several more schools in Rostov-on-Don. The experience of many head teachers and the specifics of the schedules of various schools were taken into account. The program has been significantly improved and implemented over 2 years in more than ten schools, lyceums and gymnasiums.
. By 1996, the author managed to develop a unique algorithm for automatic construction and optimization of schedules, which made it possible to significantly increase the power of the program. In the same year, the first version of AUTHOR-2 was released for colleges and for a small university.
. In 1997-98 the author develops and successfully implements the first version of the program for a large university with several educational buildings (RGUE "RINH").
. In 2000, the first WIN version of the AVTOR-2000 program was released for all types of educational institutions.
. In 2001, a version of the program was released with an interface in three languages: Russian, Ukrainian and English.
. In 2001, the first university version for part-time education was put into operation.
. In 2002, a network version of the program for the university appeared with several jobs and a common database of audiences.
. In 2003, AVTOR-2003 was successfully integrated into a single package with the "Plany" PPP (SURSUES), which made it possible to automate the input of the database into the program and build a complete schedule for this university in 2 hours! There are 7 educational buildings in SURGUES (Shakhty), two of them are located far away. Previously, the same schedule was drawn up manually by two methodologists in 2-3 months.
. In 2004, a version of the AVTOR program for military universities was developed.
. In 2005, the AVTOR version was released for schools of culture and arts, as well as for training centers.

Clients.

Currently, the AVTOR program is successfully used by more than three hundred educational institutions in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states and Kazakhstan. Among them: Don Real Gymnasium (secondary school No. 62), Classical Lyceum at the Russian State University, secondary school No. 104, No. 38, No. 67, No. 81, No. 52, No. 92, No. 27, No. 46, No. 69, No. on-Don), Secondary School No. 297, No. 1117 (Moscow), Secondary School No. 315, No. 17, Gymnasium of Oriental Languages (Kyiv), Secondary School No. 44 (Zaporozhye), Tikhoretsk Railway Transport College, Beloyarsk Pedagogical College, Rostov Engineering College, RGEU "RINKh", IUBiP, SKAGS, RGASCM, RSSU (Rostov-on-Don), SURSUES (Shakhty), Timiryazev State Agrarian University (Moscow), Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (Moscow), Irkutsk State University, Institute of Foreign Languages USPU, USU (Yekaterinburg), SSEU (Saratov), as well as dozens of other schools, lyceums, gymnasiums, colleges and universities.

Specifications.
The running time of the program depends on the size of the educational institution and the power of the computer. Full calculation and optimization of the schedule of a medium-sized school with complex initial data (40 classes, 80 teachers, of which more than 10 part-time teachers; two shifts; lack of classrooms) takes about 2-3 minutes on a Celeron-2000 computer.

AUTOR allows you to:

build a schedule without "ok"is he"at classes (study groups);

optimize in schedule"windows" of teachers;

take into account the required range of days / hours for classes, for teachers and for classrooms;

take into account the nature of the work and the wishes of both full-time employees and part-time employees;

optimally place classes in classrooms (audiences), taking into account the characteristics of classes, subjects, teachers' priorities and classroom capacity;

enter call schedule;

installtransition time (reezda) between educational buildings;

optimize the number of transitions from cabinet to cabt, and from body to body;

it is easy to connect any classes (study groups) into streams when conducting any classes;

divide classes (study groups) when conducting classes in a foreign language, physical culture, labor, computer science (and any other subjects) into any number of subgroups (up to ten!);

introduce combined lessons for subgroups (such as "foreign / computer science") in any subject;

introduce (in addition to the main subjects) special courses and electives;

optimize the uniformity and complexity of the schedule;

easily and quickly enter and correct the initial data;

have any number of schedule options;

automatically convert schedules when the database changes;

easy to save in archives, copy and send toE- mailcomplete databases and schedule options (the volume of the archive of the complete base of the high school schedule is 10-30K, a large university - 50-70K);

quickly make any necessary adjustments to the schedule;

find replacements for temporarily absent teachers;

automatically control the schedule, eliminating any "overlays" and contradictions;

display schedules in the form of convenient and visual documents: text,Word, HTML, as well as filesdBaseand booksexcel;

expose ready-made schedules in the local network and on Internet pages for public access.

Difference from analogs.
A comparative analysis of the work of the AVTOR program and programs of other developers has been repeatedly carried out by specialists from various educational institutions. The research results are published on well-known sites on the Internet, as well as in reports at conferences and master classes. It is concluded that AVTOR has the most powerful algorithm for automatic scheduling and optimization: working 10-20 times faster than analogues, the program builds better schedules according to many criteria. For example, the number of "windows" in the schedule of teachers is 2-3 times less than when using other programs.
AVTOR is a program with unique features. The main advantages compared to similar programs in the CIS:
. speed, compactness of system files and the ability to work in verybigeducational institutions with complex schedules;
. high level of automation (accommodates 100% of possible classes);
. high performance:cthe system allows you to create a new timetable during one session, and then quickly correct, save, print various options for timetables, modifying them if necessary throughout the school year;
. powerful automated SCHEDULE EDITOR,whichallows you to easily perform ANY actions with the schedule (adding, deleting, rearranging classes, calculating and optimizing the schedule, changing classrooms, replacing teachers, etc.). At the same time, the program clearly and conveniently suggests various options for permutations (changes) of the schedule and compares their quality;
. availability of detailed statistics and an objective assessment of the quality of any schedule option;
. the ability to support any national language (at the request of the client).

Adaptation and adjustment of the program.
At the request of the customer, AVTOR is modified and adjusted to the conditions of a particular educational institution (taking into account the specifics of the educational process, working hours, forms of documents, etc.).

Download to your phone so you don't forget anything and don't be late anywhere.

The program for scheduling "1C: Automated scheduling. College", "1C: Automated scheduling. College. (USB)", is a special version of the configuration "1C: Automated scheduling", intended for use in educational organizations SPO.

The product implements data loading from 1C:College, 1C:College PROF, the internal algorithm for automatic schedule calculation is implemented in the internal language 1C:Enterprise 8. This scheduling algorithm does not take into account transitions between buildings.

The following functions are implemented in the configuration:

convenient "checkerboard" form for quick manual modification of the schedule by dragging and dropping;
scheduling in the context of:
- semesters;
- branches;
- scenarios (“pessimistic”, optimistic);
- drawing up several schedules and choosing the best one.
taking into account the wishes and possibilities of teachers, groups of students, premises;
comparison for admissibility when scheduling in any mode:
- type of room;
- class type;
- room capacity;
- the number of students in the group.
selection of an arbitrary frequency of the schedule (a week, two weeks, a fixed period, etc.);
scheduling the session;
taking into account parallel classes, splitting into subgroups and streaming lectures when scheduling;
taking into account the maximum allowable number of classes per day for a group of students or a teacher when scheduling;
taking into account the shift in which a group of students is engaged in the preparation of schedules;
optimization of training schedules according to one of the criteria:
- minimize the number of rooms used;
- minimize the number of windows, etc.
operational reservation of premises;
viewing schedules and entering preferences via the web interface;
notification of changes in schedules by e-mail for students and teachers;
data exchange with circulation products "1C: College", "1C: College PROF";
downloading reference books and curricula from Excel;
operational change of schedules and drawing up "current" schedules;
arranging schedules by department into schedules by college;
documentary access control.

The following figure shows the main form for scheduling (“checkerboard”, rows - days of the week, couples, columns - rooms).

The checkerboard displays the classes already scheduled, and the cells where the lesson from the lower list of “unordered” classes can / cannot be set are highlighted with a special color. The operator can manually drag activities from the lower list to the checkerboard or move the activities along the checkerboard. Thus, having calculated the checkerboard automatically, then it is possible to change it manually, or, conversely, by putting something manually, the remainder can be calculated automatically. The system automatically shows all collisions and non-compliance with the conditions and allows you to quickly work them out (see the figure below).

The study scheduling problem is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem "Compilation of temporary tables" (timetabling). Even finding a feasible schedule is a strong NP-hard problem. Therefore, when solving it, it is necessary to use mathematical methods for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Their use allows reducing the complexity of calculations, speeding up the search for an acceptable or optimal schedule.

The tasks of assigning limited resources to operations (works) and scheduling the execution of operations are considered within the framework of scheduling theory. The tasks considered within the framework of this project are commonly called "problems of compiling temporary tables (Time Tabling)". The generalized problem is formulated as follows. Sets of resources R 1 ,R 2 ,….R k and a set of operations J 1 ,J 2 ,….,J n to be performed are given. For each operation, a set of resources necessary for its execution is specified, and the resources can be uniquely determined (fixed resources), or a subset of resources can be specified, from which a fixed number of them must be selected (free resources). Each resource can only be assigned to one operation at a time.

It is required for each operation to select "free resources" and determine the moment of its execution. The resulting schedule must be either admissible (do not violate resource constraints) or optimal, i.e. feasible schedule that minimizes or maximizes some objective function.

As an example, consider the following college scheduling problem, where R 1 = groups of students, R 2 = teachers, R 3 = rooms, operations = classes. Resources from R 1 and R 2 are fixed, R 3 are free. There are various restrictions on the time when each specific resource is available (for example, teacher Ivanov I.I. can only teach classes on Tue and Thu). It is required to draw up an acceptable schedule of training sessions, or an optimal one, which minimizes, for example, the number of windows or the number of rooms used.

This configuration was developed in collaboration with Laboratory No. 68 "Scheduling Theory and Discrete Optimization" of the Institute of Control Problems named after. V.A. Trapeznikov RAS. The configuration implements an algorithm for solving the problem proposed by the laboratory staff.

Program description

The program is intended for scheduling classes in colleges. The program consists of four sections: "Lists", "Loads", "Schedule" and "Replacements".

The "Lists" section is used to enter, edit and print lists of specialties, groups, subjects, audiences, teachers and types of classes. The "Loads" section is used to enter, edit and print curricula for each specialty, teachers' workloads, schedules for distributing hours by week within a semester, reports on teachers' workload. The "Schedule" section is intended for drawing up a schedule for groups, teachers, classrooms and the educational institution as a whole. The "Replacements" section allows you to operate with replacements of teachers.

Classes/lessons can be scheduled in automatic, manual or combined mode; You can switch from one mode to another at any time. When scheduling in automatic mode, the program takes into account all the formulated requirements for the schedule. When scheduling in manual mode, the program suggests possible options for arranging the lessons of the selected teacher, possible options for filling empty cells in the group schedule, monitors the number of seats in the classrooms.

The finished class schedule for one, all or some groups and teachers can be saved in Microsoft Word, Excel or HTML formats.

Computer requirements

The Rector-College program runs on any computer running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 10.

Use of "Rector-College"

ChronoGraph 3.0 Master is a program most often used for scheduling in schools and lyceums. It helps the head teachers to create a "grid" of classes, taking into account the requirements of the school curriculum and the amount of hours provided for by teachers' rates. In addition, the software provides a huge number of additional tools that greatly simplify the work of heads of educational institutions.

Functional

So, in addition to compiling weekly grids of hours, ChronoGraph 3.0 Master also helps to create lists of students and teaching staff. For example, a separate tool from the program is used to prepare a list of children admitted to the Unified State Exam (USE). It contains ready-made templates with forms in which you need to fill in the full name of students, indicate the subjects for which the exam will be taken, and also add information about identity documents.

Of the other important tools that make up this complex, it is worth noting those that are responsible for working with the audience fund. Here, too, ready-made forms are provided in which it is allowed to indicate data on school classrooms, inventory, floor plans, and so on.

The developers of ChronoGraph 3.0 Master did not forget about the possibility of creating additional school nomenclature, such as a bell schedule, a list of "replacements", reports, graphs, summary tables of progress and billing lists.

Additional features

The program supports the export of finished documents to MS Excel and to some versions of the 1C: ChronoGraph package. In addition, prepared forms can be sent for printing or saved as an HTML file.

ChronoGraph 3.0 works absolutely on all versions of Windows, has the lowest possible system requirements and comes with detailed documentation in Russian. You can download and use this software for free.

Key features

compiling school schedules, USE lists and other educational nomenclature;
convenient tools for forming a clock grid;
export of documents to XLS (XLSX) and HTML formats;
a fairly easy-to-learn graphical shell;
ready-made templates for filling various types of documentation.
