Abstract

This article shows a practical solution to The Problem of Assigning Evaluators to the Articles Submitted in an Academic Event, a problem of combinatorial optimization. Apart from stating the problem formally and proposing a constraint model, the article describes the heuristics designed to find solutions. The application was developed using Mozart; different distribution strategies were implemented based on the already mentioned heuristics. The experimental partial results turned out to be competitive for real problems (180 articles, 25 evaluators).
