The abstract follows.
Constraint Programming has been very successful in solving scheduling
problems. In this talk we present a number of case studies from a user's
perspective, focusing on how to develop a solution with off-the-shelf
tools, rather than on the underlying technology. We discuss issues of
tool choice, modeling approaches, visualization, and overall integration
on sample problems. The first case study is a complex scheduling and
planning problem for Siemens Energy, developed within the ASSISTANT
European project. The second example looks at models for a Hospital
Integrated Resource Management problem, based on the IHTC competition of
2024. The third case study is a generic scheduling tool which we have
developed to provide a simple-to-use solution for small to medium sized
scheduling problems.

The next talk in our series will be Kevin Schewior (University of
Cologne) | March 18 | Combinatorial Perpetual Scheduling.

As our material progresses, this is just a reminder every now and then.
To access information regarding IFORS Developing Countries resources, its regular updates – and to submit your possible "free" (not copyright protected) material, you may occasionally visit the link:

http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page .

With this open online resources page we aim to provide a platform to make research and applications of OR widely accessible to the entire OR community including researchers, academicians and scholars in the Developing Countries (DCs).

For this purpose we invite scholarly contributions spanning across all areas and sectors ranging from arts and science, to communication and education.

The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (https://www.ifors.org) is a 65-year-old organization which is currently composed of 54 national societies. Regional Groups of are: ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations Research), APORS (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies), EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies), NORAM (The Association of North American Operations Research Societies). conferences are held every three years. The conference 2023 was held very successfully in Santiago, Chile; the next exciting IFORS conference will be celebrated in 2026 in Vienna. Please visit the following link for details regarding the same: https://www.ifors2026.at/home/.

Thank you very much for your attention. We look forward to your enthusiastic participation and scholarly contributions.
