\section{Additional Materials Needed -- Suggestions}

Geoffrey's suggestions:

\begin{itemize}

\item A section (medium to large) on the relationship between airline
or crew scheduling and course scheduling.

\item A section (medium to large) giving the complexity of the problem 
... This include runtime of the various algorithms used, number of
variables, size of the overall problem and data, etc.

\item A chapter explaining why some optimization problems can also be
tackled by methods such as used in this thesis, particularly the
annealing approaches... While others are not suitable. For example,
Genetic Algorithms are known to be quite good in tackling certain
problems but not so good in tackling others. It would be quite useful
to shed some light on the reasons behind this. Also, it would be
interesting to have a section on the reasons why the neural net
approach does not do well on scheduling problems.

\item A section on the comparison between the type of constraints used 
in university course scheduling and those typically used for airline
or crew scheduling.

\end{itemize}
