This paper discusses the use of simulation in a new context. Most often QUEST is viewed as a stand-alone simulation tool to analyze and understand shop floor behavior. It has rare...
Most of modern constraint modeling languages combine rich constraint languages with mathematical notations to tackle combinatorial optimization problems. Our purpose is to introduc...
