REG-EXPERT: A Knowledge-Based Intelligent Agent for Course Registration

In this study, we present the design and implementation of a knowledge-based intelligent software agent for helping advisors and students in the choice of courses during the course registration period every semester in a university setting. The agent has knowledge of university rules and regulations, the curricula in the university, prerequisite information about courses, as well as information about students, including their academic history. Once the courses are selected, the agent then finds an optimal schedule that minimizes the number of clashes during the week by considering different sections of the courses.
