: We describe a method to find low cost shift schedules with a time-varying service level that is always above a specified minimum. Most previous approaches used a two-step procedu...
We combine mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and constraint programming (CP) to solve an important class of planning and scheduling problems. Tasks are allocated to faciliti...
Abstract. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods have proved highly effective for solving constrained optimization problems with smooth nonlinear functions in the objective...

modules can be handled in constraint graphs efficiently. This Floorplan area minimization is an important problem because many modules have shape flexibilities during the floorplan...
