Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Currently, general academic subjects in Okayama University consist of four categories, namely, “main subjects”, “individual subjects”, “guidance subjects”, and “foreign language subjects”. Among them, for “main subjects” and “foreign language subjects” that have much freedom in choice, students are requested to submit the ranks of the subjects that they want to take in the next semester beforehand. Then, the assignment of subjects to students is processed manually using the submitted ranks. However, this assignment task is very hard because it is necessary to assign fairly several thousand students at the same time while considering the capacity of each classroom, the bias in popularity among subjects, and movements of students between two distant campuses. In this paper, we define the assignment problem of general academic subjects to students as a combinational optimization problem, and propose its heuristic algorithm composed of two stages. We implement the algorithm as a Ruby application, and verify the effectiveness using real data in our university.
