Mimosa Scheduling Software 4.12

Mimosa Scheduling Software 4.12 is designed as a professional program that can allow you to schedule conferences and work-shifts in business and industry environments. The application is fast, user-friendly and has an extremely large capacity. It has a very rich set of efficient optimization tools and interactive timetabling selections for all kind of scheduling tasks.

Mimosa has become very popular and spread fast through the Internet to several schools and businesses in over 60 countries and on all continents.

Major Benefits:

1. Class-Teacher Timetabling: This problem is normally associated with secondary or primary schools where the students are scheduled as a “class”. All students in the same class take exactly the same set of courses. Typically, teachers and classes are busy most of the day, and the problem is to find times when each teacher can meet with his/her required classes with no conflicts.
2. Course Timetabling: In course timetabling, the system is used to help the user determine the day and time to offer each section of each course. The objective is normally to find a course timetable that minimizes the number of (potential) student conflicts while respecting teacher, room and equipment restrictions. Unlike the “Class-Teacher” setting, students typically have more flexibility in selecting courses, which adds to the complexity of the problem.
3. Student Scheduling (Student Sectioning): Student scheduling normally occurs after the timetable has been determined. In some schools, courses can be offered in more than one section (i.e., different instructors may offer the same course at different times) and a student scheduling package helps the user decide which students should be allocated to each section to minimize student conflicts and balance section sizes.
4. Teacher Assignment: Normally, each teacher in a school will have a number of different possible courses that he/she could teach. The teacher assignment problem helps the user to assign teachers to courses to maximize teacher satisfaction, cover all of the required courses and avoid conflicts.
5. Classroom Assignment: Classroom assignment normally takes place after the timetable has been fixed. Each course section must be assigned to a specific classroom to meet capacity, location, preference and special equipment restrictions.
6. All these cases can be used in a same file with a user-defined calendar and/or terms selection. Other supported special cases are Fully personalized timetables, Block scheduling, Intake scheduling and Cycling timetables, just to name few.

Major Features:

1. User-friendliness prevents from making common mistakes; instead users receive useful hints, answers to what-if questions and you also have the context-sensitive help or access the tutorial on our webpage. You can create all or some of the timetables either automatically, or interactively and in any order.
2. Openness of the software allows you to move data easily to and from other applications via numerous Clipboard selections and the text file conversion tools.
3. Flexible architecture enables Mimosa to fit for all types of users, very easily. It supports all school and university forms organizations and companies, since you can easily configure the application for your special scheduling needs or apply the included templates and sample files.
4. Enormous capacity of Mimosa allows you to manage up to 300,000 timetables, 30 slots in a day of a 7-day week, 255 terms and over 8000 codes in a single small file. No third-party databases or additional software is used with Mimosa in order to guarantee maximum performance, reliability and easy maintenance, combined with low end-user price.
5. Several departments can use Mimosa simultaneously and automatically merge their files over a network, expanding its capacity even larger. The network extension is not based on any specific network architectures, and it takes into account the dynamic nature of Mimosa data files and does not block other users.
