Journal: Jurnal Teknologi
Year: 2014

University course timetabling problem is a dilemma which educational institutions are facing due to various demands to be achieved in limited resources. Migrating bird optimization (MBO) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which is inspired by flying formation of migrating birds. It has been applied successfully in tackling quadratic assignment problem and credit cards fraud detection problem. However, it was reported that MBO will get stuck in local optima easily. Therefore, a modified
