A constraint satisfaction approach to operative management of aircraft routing
Franco Torquati, Massimo Paltrinieri, Alberto Momigliano · 1990
This paper describes the solution to the problem of predictive and reactive aircraft routing developed in OMAR (Operative Management of Aircraft Routing), a system implemented by Bull HN in collaboration with Alitalia. The basic philosophy is to look at aircraft routing as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) and to employ the most effective CSP techniques to solve it under the severe time constraints required by the customer.
