In this article, we propose a multi-objective and near Pareto optimal genetic algorithm for the allocation of students to supervisors. The allocation takes into consideration the students and supervisors¿ preferences on research/project topics, the lower and upper supervision quotas of supervisors, as well as the workload balance amongst supervisors. We introduce novel mutation and crossover operators for the student¿supervisor allocation problem. The experiments carried out show that the components of the genetic algorithm are more apt for the problem than classic components, and that the genetic algorithm is capable of producing allocations that are near Pareto optimal in a reasonable time.This work is partially supported by funds of the Faculty of Engineering and Computing at Coventry University, United Kingdom, and funds from EU ICT-20-2015 Project SlideWiki granted by the European Commission.ElsevierInstituto Universitario Mixto de Tecnología de InformáticaDepartamento de Sistemas Informáticos y ComputaciónDepartamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa Aplicadas y CalidadEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería InformáticaInstituto Universitario Valenciano de Investigación en Inteligencia ArtificialCoventry UniversityEuropean CommissionRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20192019-03-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/147518reponame:RiuNet.
