The Student Mix Software System (SMSS)

Abstract

The Air Command and Staff College must assign approximately 550 students to 44 groups, called seminars, three times annually. In an effort to equally distribute key student skills throughout the seminars, the faculty spends approximately 200 manhours constructing and modifying student assignments. To reduce this manpower expenditure, a completely new automated system was developed and named the Student Mix Software System (SMSS). This report documents the creation and use of the SMSS which reduced the time required to produce the mix from over 10 days to less than 2 days.
