An alternative resource set contains two or more equivalent resources to which activities can be assigned. An alternative resource set, for example, may consist of a group of workers or a number of machines that can perform the same function or task. Scheduler provides the class IloAltResSet to represent these resources.
The example in this chapter shows how to model a problem that includes alternative resources. Some of the activities in this problem require a specific resource. Other activities require one of the resources in the alternative resource set, but do not specify which of those resources they require.
