The project aims to make an innovative optimization engine, based on the MDD algorithm, accessible to solve combinatorial problems in sectors such as logistics and production. In collaboration with CETIC, an open-source "product" version will be developed, facilitating the integration of this technology into industry and supporting the reindustrialization in Europe.

Objectives
The project aims to make an advanced optimization engine, called "DDO," developed by UCLouvain, accessible. Based on the MDD (Multi-valued Decision Diagrams) algorithm, this tool is designed to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems, such as scheduling, packing, and routing, offering a solution particularly suited for highly constrained problems.
Results
The project will lead to the integration of DDO in various industrial contexts, notably in logistics, production, scheduling, and energy management sectors. In collaboration with CETIC, which brings its expertise in CBLS (Constraint-Based Local Search) to handle large, loosely constrained problems, a "product" version of DDO will be developed and made available under an open-source license.
Added Value
This initiative will provide a powerful and accessible optimization solution for companies, facilitating the resolution of complex industrial challenges while supporting the transition and reindustrialization in Europe. By making this tool available under an open-source license, the project will encourage innovation and the adoption of advanced technologies across different industrial sectors.
