This paper analyze enrollment pattern of final semester students from a university and discover interesting knowledge that may help the timetable committee in reducing clash conflict and for future decision making along the gradual process. The factor of clash conflict has been identified based on increasing number group of students whose did not follow the course structure guideline that has been designed for them. By producing prototype that adopts Apriori algorithm, it reveals the strong rules based on the extracted data. It is potential to apply into existing timetable preparation process to added new value in order to increase system performance while reduce number of class clashes. The rules or patterns produced by the prototype will then be compared with the existing course structure to evaluate the similarity and connection between courses. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84866617440&doi=10.1007%2f978-1-4614-3535-8_24&partnerID=40&md5=fe22f89f434f06e2ccb54fac38755aef id_number: 10.1007/978-1-4614-3535-8₂₄ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering volume: 152 LN place_of_pub: Bridgeport, CT pagerange: 283-292 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781461435341 issn: 18761100 citation: Rahim, N.F.A. and Taib, S.M. and Mahamad, S.
