Abstract :The most important of the activities where the presentations of scientific studies take place are academic conferences. The days, halls, and sessions are determined in advance to organize multidisciplinary conferences and this process is called conference scheduling. In multidisciplinary conferences, in the scheduling of presentations, the coexistence of studies belonging to the same fields in the same sessions is very important for the conference listener and the conference speaker. In this context, the multidisciplinary conference scheduling problem is considered a multi-constraint optimization problem. Multi-constraint optimization problems are solved with heuristic optimization techniques, not traditional optimization methods. In this study, the problem of conference scheduling is addressed using multidisciplinary conference data. The solution to the conference scheduling problem was realized with Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Epigenetic Algorithm (EGA) using C# programming language. In the study, experimental results obtained with GA and EGA were examined. As a result of this examination, it was seen that EGA achieved better results in fewer iterations compared to classical GA.Keywords : Genetik algoritma, epigenetik algoritma, konferans çizelgeleme
