This software solves any instance of educational timetabling problems expressed in the XHSTT format. The format is powerful and can adress several features and constraints of automated timetabling. The default solver engine consists of a hybrid heuristic algorithm, which is currently the state-of-art solver for this problem. Several customizations to the solver can be made, for example: the running time, the time for each algorithmic phase and algorithm-specifc parameters. Solutions can later be validated and visualized on HSEval.
