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...
Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) are ubiquitous in many real-world contexts. However, modeling a problem as a CSP can be very challenging, usually requiring considerable ex...
In this paper we present a destructive lower bound for a number of resource constrained project scheduling (RCPS) problems, which is based on column generation. We first look at t...

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...
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...
