Ecogeography-based optimization (EBO) is an enhanced version of biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm borrowing ideas from island biogeographic evolution for global optimization. The paper proposes a discrete EBO algorithm for university course timetabling problem (UCTP). We first present the mathematical model of UCTP, and then design specified global and local migration operators for the problem. Computational experiment shows that the proposed algorithm exhibits a promising performance on a set of test problem instances.
