So recently our lecturer assign us for a System Analysis & Design project, and my group have come up with a tuition centre management. One of our module is a timetable, where it will fetch the best time and arrange it according to the students preference. However, our lecturer did not want us to key in the timetable schedule manually, she wants us to use a "matching system" that has a mathematical formula, where as i said, the timetable will see which slot is preferable and assign the best subject to the student.

Does anyone has any idea what "matching system" that uses mathematical formula she is talking about? She ask us to research ourselves.

Moved to Computer Science. Please note the Site Questions and Support forum is for questions about DIC, not programming help problems.

A good first approach would be to look at the Top Trading Cycle Procedure. There are also existing results in the Operations Research literature. You could formulate the problem as an integer-linear programming problem.
