Scheduling Social Golfers Locally
The scheduling of social golfers has attracted significant attention in recent years because of its highly symmetrical and combinatorial nature. In particular, it has become one o...

Tailoring Solver-Independent Constraint Models: A Case Study with Essence' and Minion
In order to apply constraint programming to a particular domain, the problem must first be modelled as a constraint satisfaction problem. There are typically many alternative mode...

Reformulating Constraint Satisfaction Problems to Improve Scalability
Constraint Programming is a powerful approach for modeling and solving many combinatorial problems, scalability, however, remains an issue in . Abstraction and reformulation techni...

Generalizing Global Constraints Based on Network Flows
Global constraints are used in constraint programming to help users specify patterns that occur frequently in the real world. In addition, global constraints facilitate the use of ...

Solving a Stochastic Queueing Control Problem with Constraint Programming
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custome...

Modeling the Regular Constraint with Integer Programming
Many optimisation problems contain substructures involving constraints on sequences of decision variables. Such constraints can be very complex to express with mixed integer progra...

Probabilistic Continuous Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Constraint programming has been used in many applications where uncertainty arises to model safe reasoning. The goal of constraint propagation is to propagate intervals of uncerta...

Learning How to Propagate Using Random Probing
Abstract. In constraint programming there are often many choices regarding the propagation method to be used on the constraints of a problem. However, simple constraint solvers usu...

Enhanced Inference for the Market Split Problem
Inference in constraint programming is usually based on the deductions generated by individual constraints which are then communicated to other constraints through domain filteri...

Length-lex bound consistency for knapsack constraints
This paper considers the length-lex domain for set-variables in constraint programming which includes not only membership but also cardinality and lexicographic information. The p...
