Project: National Hockey League Scheduling Using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm
Supervisor(s): Lyndon While
Project status: complete semester 1, 2009


The primary aim of this project is to determine if an evolutionary algorithm can be used to successfully schedule the matches within the National Hockey League (NHL) season. The NHL is a professional ice hockey league located in North America. The league consists of 30 teams (24 from the USA and 6 from Canada) that all play 82 games each season. Evolutionary algorithms attempt to find optimal solutions using the principles of biological evolution. This gives the benefit of being able to find an optimal solution to problems that, due to their complexity and large solution space, would require significant computation and time to complete using more traditional Operations Research methods.
