Unlike many of the examples in this manual, a significant part of the actual problem solving for this example rests not in the non-deterministic search facilities of the Scheduler Engine and IBM® ILOG® Solver, but rather in the formulation, coordination, and manipulation of multiple problem models. While the non-deterministic search facilities are still needed, the model manipulation functionality supplied by IBM ILOG Concert Technology is relied on heavily.
In this section, we discuss the models that are created and how information is communicated amongst them. We do not discuss how each submodel is solved using the Scheduler Engine, but rather concentrate on the level of Concert Technology. Solving the Models presents how each model is solved using the Scheduler Engine.
