Download or read book Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems written by Jean-Charles Régin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-04-07 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems, CPAIOR 2004, held in Nice, France in April 2004. The 23 revised full papers and 7 revised short papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. Methodological and foundational issues from AI, OR, and algorithmics are presented as well as applications to the solution of combinatorial optimization problems in various fields via constraint programming.
