Conference scheduling: a personalized approach

Scientific conferences are an essential part of academic research. It falls upon the organizers to ensure that participants are able to attend the presentations of their interest. We consider conference scheduling at the level of presentations. We also account for session hopping. Furthermore, we present a combined approach of assigning presentations to rooms and time slots, grouping presentations into sessions, and deciding on an optimal itinerary for each participant. This approach is based on solving integer programming models and has been applied to construct the schedules of the MathSport 2013 and MAPSP 2015 conferences.
