Variable and Value Ordering When Solving Balanced Academic Curriculum Problems
<|reference_start|>Variable and Value Ordering When Solving Balanced Academic Curriculum Problems: In this paper we present the use of Constraint Programming for solving balanced academic curriculum problems. We discuss the important role that heuristics play when solving a problem using a constraint-based approach. We also show how constraint solving techniques allow to very efficiently solve combinatorial optimization problems that are too hard for integer programming techniques.<|reference_end|>
