Implementations in languages like Prolog or MiniZinc were mentioned. They showcase how declarative or constraint-based programming paradigms are well-suited for solving constraint satisfaction problems like this. #ConstraintProgramming 5/6

Here's something to brighten up your Monday: a paper about solving mathemusical problems with ILP and SAT, from our latest issue:

This paper compares MILP and CP solvers on a new FJS scheduling problem, showing CP is faster and "warm starts" are vital for large instances. #constraintprogramming

Many thanks to Springer's SharedIt program!
