About the course
- The use of tools for solving a combinatorial problem, by first modelling it in a solving-technology-independent constraint-based modelling language and then running the model on an off-the-shelf solver.
- Constraint consistency; constraint propagator; propagation fixpoint algorithm.
- Solving by systematic search: construction and exploration of a search tree; branching strategies; handling of an objective function for optimisation.
- Solving by (constraint-based) stochastic local search: construction and exploration of a search space; constraint violation; variable violation; move probing; search heuristics; search meta-heuristics.
