We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, we propose an O(n4...
In order to apply texture measurement based heuristic commitment techniques beyond the unary capacity resource constraints of job shop scheduling, we extend the contention texture...

Abstract. Overload checking, forbidden regions, edge finding, and notfirst/not-last detection are well-known propagation rules to prune the start times of activities which have t...
This paper presents an experimental study of constraint propagation algorithms for preemptive scheduling. We propose generalizations of non-preemptive constraint propagation techni...
This paper deals with the job-shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times. We propose a new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality. The met...
