Abstract:
In this dissertation, the first goal is to desing and implement a computer 
program (based on hybrid meta-heuristics) that generates a schedule for 
sports competitions across multiple neutral venues. In this variant of the 
problam there are N competitors, T timeslots and S venues. Each competitor 
has to play N-1 times in order to play all the other competitors. If all 
the timeslots available in the S venues shoud be used then some of the 
matches should be repeated, otherwise there are empty slots. The solution 
developed here consisted in two phases. Generating an initial timatable 
followed by an improvement phase using guided local search.
