  "summary": "arXiv:2606.07270v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Contribution: This paper presents a novel two-phase algorithmic approach that decouples preference satisfaction from fairness optimization in student team formation, achieving both objectives without compromise. The method applies simulated annealing -- a core materials science technique -- to an educational challenge, demonstrating pedagogical integration of administrative processes. Background: Forming effective teams in large engineering coh",
