This thesis addresses the formulation of a referee assignment problem for the Italian Volleyball Serie A Championships. The problem has particular constraints such as a referee must be assigned to different teams in a given period of times, and the minimal/maximal level of workload for each referee is obtained by considering cost and profit in the objective function. The problem has been solved through an exact method by using an integer linear programming formulation and a clique based decomposition for improving the computing time. Extensive computational experiments on real-world instances have been performed to determine the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
