<p>Hi everybody,</p> <p>Does anyone know a good reference or tutorial in the spirit of the book "Model building in mathematical programming" for Constraint Programming techniques for solving MIPs?</p> <p>Thanks in advance Regards, Shahin</p>

<p>I'm also looking for a good modeling books in constraint programming, but have found none as good as Williams'. However, here are some introductions to constraint programming with discussions of modeling issues.</p> <ul> <li>Christian Schulte, Gert Smolka <a href="http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/fdt/" rel="nofollow">"Finite Domain Constraint Programming in Oz. A Tutorial."</a> For Mozart/Oz.</li> <li>Pascal Van Hentenryck "The OPL Optimization Programming Language", (ISBN 978-0262720304, out of print). Documents the OPL language.</li> <li>Dynadec: "Comet Tutorial" (download from <a href="http://dynadec.com/" rel="nofollow">Dynadec</a>). Comet is a system designed by Pascal Van Hentenryck and Laurent Michel. The tutorial is of the same vein as the OPL book, and documents, with examples, Comet's three different solvers: MIP, constraint programming, and local search-</li> <li>Helmut Simonis has written a couple of very nice modeling papers. See his site: <a href="http://4c.ucc.ie/~hsimonis/" rel="nofollow">http://4c.ucc.ie/~hsimonis/</a></li> <li>Barbara Smith has also written very good papers, <a href="http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/bms/papers.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/bms/papers.html</a></li> </ul>

<p>I also like the book "Programming with Constraints" by Kim Marriott and Peter Stuckey. It includes some modeling tips and guidelines. Here's the web site: <a href="http://ww2.cs.mu.oz.au/~pjs/book/book.html" rel="nofollow">http://ww2.cs.mu.oz.au/~pjs/book/book.html</a></p>

<p>There is an introductory paper available at the Interfaces, titled "Program Does Not Equal Program: Constraint Programming and Its Relationship to Mathematical Programming". A PDF link is <a href="http://suraj.lums.edu.pk/~te/mpls/0092.2102.01.3106.29.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>. May not be exactly what you are looking for, but I found the article very nice to start CP with.</p>
