Multi-criteria Student Project Allocation: A Case Study of Goal Programming Formulation with DSS Implementation

摘要：

This paper concerns a typical Student Project Allocation (SPA) problem involving dis tributing a set of projects to students of an undergraduate Directed Studies in Mathematics course at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Hong Kong. Among a set of projects, each student indicates a preference list over their eligible projects, while the Department wants to make the most allocations, with its preferences over the individual students according to their GPAs. We apply pre-emptive goal programming to a multi-criteria SPA model for allocating these projects to students with a DSS implementation. The numerical results illustrate the clear effectiveness and efficiency of this approach.
