Artelys Kalis
Constraint programming solver for large combinatorial problems
An Interactive and User-Friendly Hybrid MIP/CP Framework for large combinatorial problems.
Artelys Kalis is an innovative constraints programming component able to solve quickly and efficiently a wide range of combinatorial problems such as: scheduling, timetabling, resource allocation, equipment or network configuration, etc.
Artelys Kalis is also available in FICO™ Xpress Optimization (Xpress-Kalis).

Key benefits & features
Key benefits
• No limitation to linear or non-linear modeling
• Use of a rich semantic
• Increase the flexibility of the modelization
• Extremely performing with highly combinatorial and constrained problems
• Take into consideration more problems
• Object-oriented
Key features
• Comprehensive library of constraints and search heuristics
