| contents | In a perfect world, each high school student could pursue their interests through a personalized timetable that supports their strengths, weaknesses, and curiosities. While recent research has shown that school systems are evolving to support those developments by strengthening modularity in their curricula, there is often a hurdle that prevents the complete success of such a system: the scheduling process is too complex. While there are many tools that assist with scheduling timetables in an effective way, they usually arrange students into groups and classes with similar interests instead of handling each student individually. In this paper, we propose an extension of the popular XHSTT framework that adds two new constraints to model the individual student choices as well as the requirements for group formation that arise from them. Those two constraints were identified through extensive interviews with school administrators and other school timetabling experts from six European countries. We propose a corresponding ILP formulation and show first optimization results for real-world instances from schools in Germany. |
