Hi All,

I have a project need to use Constraints Programming to solve the
logistics
resource problems. I know ILOG's Solver, Dispatcher and CPLEX can solve
the
problem. But are there other commercial solution providers? And what is
the
benchmark comparing to ILOG's products?


Not too many, actually.

There is Koalog in Java, COSYTEC that is in C++ and Java, and this is
about all in "conventional" languages.

However, almost all Prolog systems provide FD constraint solver. Look
for SCIStus, Eclipse, SWI, B-Prolog, Ciao, IF/Prolog. Some of them are
commercial (SICstus, IF/prolog) some "semi-commercial (B-Prolog) the
rest are free.

I forgot about Kialis system from Dash Optimization. Kialis is
integrated with Dash Mosel language and XpressMP LP solver
