Introduction

The Distributed Timetable Assistant (DiTA) is a decentralized platform designed to revolutionize educational scheduling. By moving away from traditional, centralized algorithms, DiTA empowers institutions, instructors, and learners to collaboratively build optimized timetables.

Instead of a single bottleneck, DiTA uses a network of independent Solver Services that compete to solve scheduling problems defined by Institution Packets. This approach ensures scalability, fairness, and the ability to handle complex, real-world constraints that centralized systems often miss.

For a deeper dive into how DiTA works, see the Overview.
