Dimensioning an Inbound Call Center Using Constraint Programming
One of the critical problems in the call center industries is the staffing problem since they must face variable demands and because staff costs represent a major part of the cost...

Solving the Car-Sequencing Problem as a Non-binary CSP
A search algorithm based on non-binary forward checking (nFC) is used to solve the car-sequencing problem. The choice of value ordering heuristics having a dramatic effect on solu...

Mind the Gaps: A New Splitting Strategy for Consistency Techniques
Classical methods for solving numerical CSPs are based on a branch and prune algorithm, a dichotomic enumeration process interleaved with a consistency filtering algorithm. In man...

Solving Over-Constrained Problems with SAT
Abstract. We present a new generic problem solving approach for overconstrained problems based on Max-SAT. We first define a clausal form formalism that deals with blocks of clau...

Sub-optimality Approximations
Abstract. The sub-optimality approximation problem considers an optimization problem O, its optimal solution σ∗ , and a variable x with domain {d1, . . . , dm} and returns appro...
