Abstract
The research of scheduling algorithms for operating the facility of exhibition and convention can be hardly found in published papers. This study is to find problems in the process of operating the facility of exhibition and convention and to develop the scheduling algorithm satisfying those problems. The scheduling algorithm of this paper is developed through constructing the mathematical model and analyzing the mathematical structure of variables and constraints in that model. The scheduling algorithm developed in this paper consists of the first stage of scheduling, the second stage of feasibility routine and the third stage of improving scheduling results. Some experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the scheduling algorithm developed in this paper.
