Abstract:Abstract.This paper presents a study conducted on the minimum number of open stacks problem (MOSP) which occurs in various production environments where an efficient simultaneous utilization of resources (stacks) is needed to achieve a set of tasks. We investigate through this problem how classical lookback reasonings based on explanations could be used to prune the search space and design a new solving technique. Explanations have often been used to design intelligent backtracking mechanisms in Constraint Pro… Show more
