Dear scheduling researcher, We are delighted to announce the talk given by Iiro Harjunkoski (Hitachi Energy). The title is "Scheduling and Energy – Industrial Challenges and Opportunities". The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, April 27 at 13:00 UTC. Join Zoom Meeting https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/93348597561?pwd=UUNvSG1NaDhUbTBPaHpUdE9LWTNDUT09 Meeting ID: 933 4859 7561 Passcode: 354778 You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A 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: Patrick De Causmaecker (KU Leuven) | May 11 | Data Science Meets Scheduling For more details, please visit https://schedulingseminar.com/ With kind regards Zdenek, Mike and Guohua -- Zdenek Hanzalek Industrial Informatics Department, Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics, Czech Technical University in Prague, Jugoslavskych partyzanu 1580/3, 160 00 Prague 6, Czech Republic https://rtime.ciirc.cvut.cz/~hanzalek/

Dear scheduling researcher, We are delighted to announce the talk given by Pascal Van Hentenryck (Georgia Tech). The title is "Constraint Programming for Scheduling". The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, April 13 at 13:00 UTC. Join Zoom Meeting https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/94015623000?pwd=eThCQmZwZjJpdExEK2g0TWUvLzZuZz09 Meeting ID: 940 1562 3000 Passcode: 808863 You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A 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.
