[gecode-users] Modelling strategies for reconciling availabilities with scheduled shifts

[Christian Schulte]

Hi,

This is not really a Gecode specific question, so out of scope here.

You might want to check the Constraints journal or editions of the CP and
CP-AI-OR conference proceedings published at Springer. There is quite some
material out there on rostering and time tabling.

Best
Christian

Subject: [gecode-users] Modelling strategies for reconciling availabilities
with scheduled shifts

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a program to help schedule student employees at our university
based on pre-defined shifts (time blocks) and student availabilities (also
time blocks).

This strikes me as similar to the Air Crew problem, except for modelling the
constraint that an employee is not simply generally available: it depends on
their schedule.

What modelling strategies can a more seasoned constraint programmer
recommend for solving this problem?

I appreciate any guidance,
Christopher Thielen
