讲座摘要：Sports have worldwide appeal. Professional sport leagues involve significant investments and face challenging logistics optimization problems. On the other side, amateur leagues involve less investments, but also require coordination and logistical efforts due to the large number of tournaments and competitors. A key aspect of sporting events is the ability to generate schedules and assign venues that optimize logistic issues and that are fair to all those involved. This is not just restricted to generating the fixtures, but also to other issues such as assigning officials to the games in the competition. Integer programming, constraint programming, metaheuristics, and hybrid methods have been successfully applied to the solution of different variants of this problem. In this lecture, we overview fundamental issues, problem formulations, solution methods, applications, and successful case studies in professional leagues of different sport disciplines such as football, baseball, basketball, and hockey.
