We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, an O(n4 ) algorithm...
Dominance constraints are logical descriptions of trees that are widely used in computational linguistics. Their general satisfiability problem is known to be NP-complete. Here we...
The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...
Classical off-line approaches based on preemption such as RM (Rate Monotonic), DM (Deadline Monotonic), EDF (Earliest Deadline First), LLF (Least Laxity First), etc, give schedula...
This paper considers Just-In-Time Job-Shop Scheduling, in which each activity has an earliness and a tardiness cost with respect to a due date. It proposes a constraint programmin...
