Book Description
In the context of sports leagues scheduling (SLS) several groups' interests must be taken into account. This book treats requirements for sport leagues schedules to be realizable from an operational and a security point of view, attractive for spectators and TV channels, and fair for the competing teams. Formal problem definitions as well as integer programming models are presented and analyzed.

Book Description
Sports world is full of arguments. Even before the ball is played, there are questions. Why team A plays team B on Christmas? Why team D travels so much? Almost every fan has complained his or her team had played an unfavorable schedule. It is not easy to answer these questions. The large amount of constraints makes sports league scheduling a very complex problem. In the last thirty years, there has been many researches conducted on this problem. Most of them focus on the time constrained round robin tournament, which is used by many college sports leagues and most professional soccer leagues. There are few researches focus on the time relaxed round robin tournament, which is used by National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and many amateur leagues. This book is the first ever to systematically investigate time relaxed round robin tournament scheduling problem. It consists of three major parts: the properties of general time-relaxed round robin tournaments; traveling distance problem in the time constrained conditions, all major constraints for the NBA regular season scheduling.

Book Description
This book introduces solutions for sports scheduling problems in a variety of settings. In particular the book covers timetabling, the traveling tournament problem, carryover minimization, breaks minimization, tournament design, tournament planning, and referee assignment. A rich selection of applications to sports such as football, baseball, basketball, cricket or hockey are employed to illustrate the methods and techniques. In a step-by-step tutorial format the book describes the use of graph theory concepts, local search operators and integer programming in the context of sports scheduling. The methods presented in this book are essential to sports scheduling in all its dimensions, from tournaments that are followed by millions of people across the world, with broadcast rights that amount to hundreds of millions of dollars in some competitions, to amateur leagues that require coordination and logistical efforts due to the large number of tournaments and competitors.

Book Description
Any sports league needs a schedule of play, and such a schedule can be important, as it may influence the outcome of the sports competition itself and since it may have an impact on the interests of all parties involved. As in many other sports leagues and countries, the interest for Belgian soccer has increased over the last years. This paper describes our experiences in scheduling the highest Belgian soccer league. We describe how we automated and improved the way in which the calendar is constructed, resulting in the schedule for the season 2006-2007. We also explain how decomposing the scheduling problem into two subproblems resulted in a further improvement. The resulting calendar has been accepted for the season 2007-2008. Finally, we compare the quality of the schedules resulting from the different methods.

Book Description
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Local Search for Planning and Scheduling, held at a satellite workshop of ECAI 2000 in Berlin, Germany in August 2000.The nine revised full papers presented together with an invited survey on meta-heuristics have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on combinatorial optimization, planning with resources, and related approaches.

Book Description
Researchers in management, industrial engineering, operations, and computer science have intensely studied scheduling for more than 50 years, resulting in an astounding body of knowledge in this field. Handbook of Scheduling: Algorithms, Models, and Performance Analysis, the first handbook on scheduling, provides full coverage of the most recent and advanced topics on the subject. It assembles researchers from all relevant disciplines in order to facilitate cross-fertilization and create new scheduling insights. The book comprises six major parts, each of which breaks down into smaller chapters: · Part I introduces materials and notation, with tutorials on complexity theory and algorithms for the minimization of makespan, total completion time, dual objectives, maximum lateness, the number of late jobs, and total tardiness. · Part II is devoted to classical scheduling problems. · Part III explores scheduling models that originate in computer science, operations research, and management science. · Part IV examines scheduling problems that arise in real-time systems, focusing on meeting hard deadline constraints while maximizing machine utilization. · Part V discusses stochastic scheduling and queueing networks, highlighting jobs that are not deterministic. · Part VI covers applications, discussing scheduling problems in airline, process, and transportation industries, as well as in hospitals and educational institutions.
