1 Lignes directrices Constraint Programming Lab 1. Introduction to OPL Ruslan Sadykov INRIA Bordeaux Sud-Ouest 6 March / 18 2 / 18 Software to solve CSPs Commercial IBM ILOG CP Optimizer (free for academic use), interfaces : C++, Java, IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio (OPL). Artelys Kalis, interfaces : C++, Java, Xpress-Mosel. Microsoft Solver Foundation, interfaces : CLS-compliant languages (C++, IronPython,...) Add-in Designer for Excel Free MiniZinc (modeling language), interface : MiniZincIDE. Choco Solver, interface : Java. Gecode, interface : C++. Others are mentioned on Wikipedia (article «Constraint Programming»). Example : frequency assignment Variables : F i frequency assigned to transmitter i. Additional variables : S i = 0 if low frequency 1 if high frequency. Constraints : Fi F j d ij, (i, j) ; all-different(f 1,..., F 5 ). Additional constraints : element(si, {0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, F i ), i. gcc({si i, {0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3). T 1 3 T 5 T 2 T 4 T / 18 4 / 18

5 Problem description Practical information A steel mill has an inventory of steel slabs of different sizes. From these steel slabs, we need to manufacture different types of steel coils. Every steel coil type requires a different production process encoded by a color. Every order is characterized by the weight and color of the steel coil. Every steel slab can be used for production of steel coils of at most two different colors. The total weight of steel coils produced from the same steel slab cannot exceed its capacity (or size). The objective is to minimize to total loss (unused capacity of steel slabs). Necessary files are available at Help teaching/mse3315c/tp/stillmill.zip or : IDE and OPL > OPL > OPL keywords > or dexpr : IDE and OPL > OPL > OPL keywords > dexpr pack : IDE and OPL > OPL > OPL functions > pack 17 / / 18
