ANALYSIS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION (PSO) METHOD ON LECTURERS ASSIGNMENTS TO STUDENTS

When preparing a program for a conference, it is very important to divide teaching and learning tasks according to the areas in which you are involved for teaching and learning to be effective. At the University, the assignment process is still done manually which is very time consuming. Therefore, an appropriate optimization method is needed to handle this. This problem can be solved using a population-based heuristic approach, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been applied to various fields such as scheduling and assignment. The data used in this research is lecturer assignment data in the form of prioritizing lecturer interest in teaching certain subjects. Based on the calculation results, a test was carried out to determine the effect of the test parameters on the fitness value obtained. From the results of the PSO parameter test, the best number of particles is 100, the best number of repetitions is 100, and the speed combination parameters c1 and c2 are 1.5 and 1.5 with the appropriate value of 94878. The system results, the solution obtained gives good results, i.e. always within tolerance limits, the error scores obtained by placing teachers on subjects that suit their preferences are lowe
