description The rapid advancement of information and communication technology significantly impacts various sectors, including education, by enhancing administrative and academic processes through sophisticated algorithms and systems. At Raden Fatah State Islamic University Palembang, specifically within the Faculty of Sharia and Law, technology is pivotal in managing complex course scheduling challenges due to increasing student numbers and curriculum intricacies. This study examines the effectiveness of optimization algorithms in improving the efficiency and quality of academic scheduling. We focus on two prominent optimization techniques, Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), chosen for their capability to address the complex optimization problems typical in academic settings. The research encompasses a systematic approach, beginning with a clear definition of constraints and objectives, followed by designing and implementing both algorithms to address the scheduling issues at the Faculty of Sharia and Law. Our experimental evaluation compares the performance of GA and ACO across multiple metrics, including execution time, memory usage, fitness, and adaptability to dynamic conditions. Results indicate that while GA generally offers faster solutions, it requires more memory and shows variability in achieving optimal fitness levels. Conversely, ACO, though occasionally slower, consistently produces higher quality solutions with greater memory efficiency, making it more suitable for resource-constrained environments.
