Constraint Propagation in Flexible Manufacturing (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems) (Volume 492)

This book provides a thorough analysis of scheduling problems that arise in a flexible manufacturing environment with scarce resource supply. Generalizations of the famous job shop scheduling problem are discussed. As a basic and common technique for solving these problems constraint propagation is applied in various solution methods. The effectiveness of constraint propagation is demonstrated by the solution of a high number of benchmark problem instances.Toan Phan Huy is the author of 'Constraint Propagation in Flexible Manufacturing (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems) (Volume 492)', published 2000 under ISBN 9783540679134 and ISBN 3540679138.
