Abstract

Recurrently, the proccess of allocating classrooms in universities proves to be complex. Allocating classes throughout classrooms following given restrictions to bear the student body. This problem is known as Classroom Assignment Problem. Generally this process is done by the educational institutions by manual means and can take days to be finished. This situation describes the current state faced by the Technology Center of the Federal University of Ceará, which has to deal with the incresing demand. The Center counts with a total of 9 graduation courses allocated through 6 buildings, which house a total of 61 rooms at the time of the research, with capacities that range from 20 to 70 students. This research proposes the development of a way to optimize the process of allocating classrooms in the Technology Center of Federal University of Ceará, eliminating the need of internal individual effort. To do so was necessary to digitalize the process, to be completely standalone, through a Web Software. The reference used in this research were the courses offerred in all semesters of 2019.1. In general, the results obtained, through the developed system, showed that the available space can handle the demand efficiently, so the effort by the UFC Technology Center became reduced.
