| Abstract: | The authors look at a conference scheduling problem with the objective of maximizing the ability of participants to attend sessions of interest. this problem was addressed in an article by Eglese and Rand; conference scheduling has otherwise received little attention in management science literature. related problems of class- and exam-scheduling have been extensively studied and published, yet few cases consider participant (e.g. student) preferences. The formulation here includes prioritized preferences for conference sessions, as well as schedule resource constraints. |
