Second International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems, CPAIOR 2005, Prague, Çek Cumhuriyeti, 31 Mayıs - 01 Haziran 2005, cilt.3524, ss.34-48
This paper introduces a problem called the temporal knapsack problem, presents several algorithms for solving it, and compares their performance. The temporal knapsack problem is a generalisation of the knapsack problem and specialisation of the multidimensional (or multiconstraint) knapsack problem. It arises naturally in applications such as allocating communication bandwidth or CPUs in a multiprocessor to bids for the resources. The algorithms considered use and combine techniques from constraint programming, artificial intelligence and operations research. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
