Abstract
The problem of producing a regular season schedule is a very demanding task for any sport league. To deal with this complex large scale timetabling problem, we propose a decision support system to enable the user to complete a schedule in an interactive manner, using both his experience and efficient computerized heuristic procedures.
Résumé
La mise au point d’lm calendrier sportif pour une ligue organisée peut donner lieu à un problème fort complexe. Pour résoudre ce problème de programmation mathématique en nombre entiers de gande taille, nous propospns un système de support d’aide à la décision. Ce système aidera un usager expert à compléter le calendrier en utilisant à la fois son expérience et différentes procédures heuristiques informatisées utiles aux differentes étapes du processus de solution.
