Abstract

This paper introduces a problem called the temporal knapsack problem, presents several algorithms for solving it, and compares their performance. The temporal knapsack problem is a generalisation of the knapsack problem and specialisation of the multidimensional (or multiconstraint) knapsack problem. It arises naturally in applications such as allocating communication bandwidth or CPUs in a multiprocessor to bids for the resources. The algorithms considered use and combine techniques from constraint programming, artificial intelligence and operations research.
