The Scheduling and Timetabling research group in Udine is working on the solution of scheduling problems using both local search techniques and their hybridization with other paradigms (e.g. constraint programming). The researchers involved in the group have developed both academic prototypes and production systems for the solution of practical scheduling problems, such as workforce scheduling, shift design, timetabling, and sport scheduling. In addition, the group has been active in the system-modeling side, in the development of languages and tools for specifiying problems and applications.
