International Journal of Process Management and Benchmarking, 2014, vol. 4, issue 4, 406-423

Abstract: This paper summarises our work with real-world workforce scheduling and professional sports league scheduling. Furthermore, the paper presents a computational intelligence method called the PEAST algorithm. The algorithm has been used to solve school timetabling problems, many different workforce management problems and several sports scheduling problems. The algorithm has been integrated into market-leading workforce management software in Finland and it is used to generate the schedule for the Finnish Major Ice Hockey League.
