ABSTRACT This study is concerned with the design and development of an annotation model that gives users the power of expressivity as required in Economic Intelligence (EI) context. Most of the existing annotation platforms lack this power of expressivity. The study also discovered a need to develop an annotation model for creating and structuring annotations that will adequately capture the intention of the users (EI actors) in decision making process. In addition, there was a need for a te...

ABSTRACT In this study, a Genetic Algorithm approach coupled with an internal Heuristic Search strategy is applied to attempt automation of course-teaching timetable generation for the University of Dodoma while trying to make the solution as general as possible. In designing the algorithm, course timetabling constraints of the institution are identified and a general encoding scheme is used to represent the problem. Then, a Genetic Algorithm is designed and implemented with a two-point cros...
