This paper considers the traveling tournament problem (TTP) proposed in [8; 4] to abstract the salient features of major league baseball (MLB) in the United States. It proposes a simulated annealing algorithm (TISA) for the TIP that produces significant improvements over previous approaches.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/196","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0196.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/196.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/196","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":196,"pages":{"first":1357,"last":1357},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
