The purpose of this introductory chapter is to provide the basic concepts behind Constraint Programming CP and Integer Programming IP. These two fields cover a variety of aspects and have been widely studied. Therefore, here we do not intend to give a deep insight of the fields, but to provide the definitions and concepts for understanding the rest of this book. We explain CP and IP modelling aspects and solving strategies. We ground our discussion on an example: the car sequencing problem. The chapter provides references to relevant biography which can be referred to for a deeper understanding.

Abstract
The purpose of this introductory chapter is to provide the basic concepts behind Constraint Programming CP and Integer Programming IP. These two fields cover a variety of aspects and have been widely studied. Therefore, here we do not intend to give a deep insight of the fields, but to provide the definitions and concepts for understanding the rest of this book. We explain CP and IP modelling aspects and solving strategies. We ground our discussion on an example: the car sequencing problem. The chapter provides references to relevant biography which can be referred to for a deeper understanding.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
