All Implemented Interfaces:

NeighbourSelection<Exam,ExamPlacement>

public class ExamPeriodSwapMove
extends Object
implements NeighbourSelection<Exam,ExamPlacement>

Try to swap a period between two exams. Two examinations are randomly selected. A new placement is generated by swapping periods of the two exams. For each exam, the best possible room placement is found. If the two exams are in the same period, it just tries to change the room assignments by looking for the best available room placement ignoring the existing room assignments of the two exams. If no conflict results from the swap the assignment is returned. The following exams of the second exam in the pair are tried for an exam swap otherwise.
