Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm that offers many different strategies for solving problems. Choosing a good strategy is difficult; choosing a poor strategy wastes r...

In this paper, we present a formal analysis of the constraints of the scheduling problem, and evaluate the structure of the scheduling polytope described by those constraints. Pol...
Logistic systems analysts use a wide array of modeling systems such as algebraic and logic programs. Two simple examples show how they mesh as Constraint Logic programs, emphasizin...
We study local interchangeability of values in constraint networks based on a new approach where a single value in the domain of a variable can be treated as a combination of &quo...
This paper presents different methods for solving parallel machine scheduling problems with precedence constraints and setup times between the jobs. Limited discrepancy search met...
