Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The formation and management of schedules is repetitive and troublesome for any class, university and organization. Limited resources in terms of people, time and locations. Institutions needs solutions that will meet all of these constraints of scheduling. That system for scheduling should take in control the scheduling process which takes time by automatically allocating time slots for teaching and creating course schedule. And easily can be integrated with their systems without need to do some extra work like adding data for scheduling or exporting them, reducing the time spend on creating schedules and minimizing errors that made by people.Today, there are various types of systems and services designed to create schedules, reserve classrooms, assign classrooms for course teachers at specific times. The use of modern technologies, methods and models makes it easy to use open applications and services, as well as services at the local level. This paper presents the results of the analysis of systems. Their structures, algorithms, models, and also functional capabilities. The aim of this work is to determine the types of applications and systems, analysis of various options for the implementation of algorithms for the formation of schedules in educational institutions.Keywords: Automation, scheduling, time-tables, university, constraints, algorithms
