At its core, ASC Timetables is a logic engine. It attempts to solve a variation of the "n-queens problem"—how to place limited resources (teachers, rooms, time slots) into a grid without conflict. The software allows users to input constraints: Mr. Smith cannot teach on Fridays, The Science Lab is only available periods 3 and 4, or The 10th grade has a mandatory assembly on Wednesday.
The software then generates a collision-free schedule. For the 2020 build, features regarding "substitution" and "absences" were heavily utilized. When a teacher called in sick or had to quarantine, the software could instantly calculate the best replacement, minimizing disruption to the student body.
