The abstract follows.
Real-life industrial scheduling problems, especially in the process
industries, are very complex as they contain many problem-specific
features or rules that are sometimes even difficult to be expressed
mathematically. Nonetheless, often the requirement to reach optimality
or close-to-optimality is critical for the competitiveness and the
survival of the company. Due to this, mixed-integer linear programming
(MILP) has become the most common tool of choice and can be said to be
the "backbone" for many practical scheduling problems.
In this presentation, we take an engineering perspective of selected
problems and discuss few examples where energy plays a significant role.
The role of energy is in fact growing and most process industries will
in the future be more closely integrated into the energy supply chain.
We will discuss few MILP formulations and methods to improve their
performance in practical cases.
The next talk in our series will be given by:

The abstract follows.
This talk reviews the start of the art in solving scheduling problems
with constraint programming, and examines novel research directions,
with a focus on the integration of constraint programming and
mathematical programming, and the use of machine learning. It reviews
applications where constraint programming provides an integrated
approach to complex problems, the hybridization of constraint
programming and mathematical programming, learning-based constraint
programming, and optimization proxies.
