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.

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 _______________________________________________ Gecode users mailing list users@gecode.org https://www.gecode.org/mailman/listinfo/gecode-users _______________________________________________ Gecode users mailing list users@gecode.org https://www.gecode.org/mailman/listinfo/gecode-users
