Solving Multi-Configuration Problems: A Performance Analysis with Choco Solver

In many scenarios, configurators support the configuration of a solution that satisfies the preferences of a single user. The concept of multi-configuration is based on the idea of configuring a set of configurations. Such a functionality is relevant in scenarios such as the configuration of personalized exams, the configuration of project teams, and the configuration of different trips for individual members of a tourist group (e.g., when visiting a specific city). In this paper, we exemplify the application of multi-configuration for generating individualized exams. We also provide a constraint solver performance analysis which helps to gain some insights into corresponding performance issues.
