CP or DP? Why Not Both: A Case Study in the Partial Shop Scheduling Problem
Researchers have demonstrated a novel hybrid approach combining Dynamic Programming (DP) and Constraint Programming (CP) to tackle the Partial Shop Scheduling Problem (PSSP). This method uses DP as the main search framework, with CP integrated as a subroutine for constraint propagation. The hybrid model offers flexibility, accommodating arbitrary precedence constraints and enabling advanced techniques like Large Neighborhood Search. AI
