Scheduling B2B Meetings

摘要

In this work we deal with the problem of scheduling meetings between research groups, companies and investors in a scientific and technological forum. We provide a CP formulation and a Pseudo-Boolean formulation of the problem, and empirically test the performance of different solving techniques, such as CP, lazy clause generation, SMT, and ILP, on industrial and crafted instances of the problem. The solutions obtained clearly improve expert handmade solutions with respect to the number of idle time slots and other quality parameters.
