Committed solutions refer to the final timetables that were produced by schedule managers using our timetabling application for Fall 2007. These solutions were initialy computed individually using the automated solver; however, some additional changes were applied manually later in the process using the solver in its interactive mode.

Example automated solutions refer to solutions computed by our university course timetabling solver using llr configuration for LLR problem and default configuration for all the other problems.
