Abstract
Combinatorial optimisation problems often contain
uncertainty that has to be taken into account to produce realistic solutions. One way of describing
the uncertainty is using scenarios, where each scenario describes different potential sets of problem
parameters based on random distributions or historical data. While efficient algorithmic techniques
exist for specific problem classes such as linear programs, there are very few approaches that can handle general Constraint Programming formulations
with uncertainty. The goal of my PhD is to develop
generic methods for solving stochastic combinatorial optimisation problems formulated in a Constraint Programming framework
