Topics and Target

This workshop aims to bring together the best researchers working on sports-related optimization problems to share their relevant research and cultivate innovative ideas. Optimization in sports is everywhere, whether we talk about lineup construction, players' evaluation, in-play decision-making, sports scheduling, or sports policies. Furthermore, the legalization of sports gambling is increasing rapidly, and with it comes interesting venues for applying optimization and constraint programming to real-time decision-making problems. Several works in literature have successfully developed profitable strategies for sports gambling. The number of venues and arrays of problems in sports is growing rapidly, and the constraints community will find the sport's problems interesting, which will lead to future research.
