Purpose
Sets the minimal and maximal amount of resource provided by a task for a particular resource.
A task provides some amount of processing power for a resource during its execution. The capacity provided is considered as renewable which means that whenever the providing task ends, the provided capacity is no longer available. Note that a minimal amount of 0 is possible thus allowing modeling of alternative resources. The type of resource provision can be defined in several ways:
A task provides some amount of processing power for a resource during its execution. The capacity provided is considered as renewable which means that whenever the providing task ends, the provided capacity is no longer available. Note that a minimal amount of 0 is possible thus allowing modeling of alternative resources. The type of resource provision can be defined in several ways:
- By specifying a resource and a constant provision parameter 'provision'. In this case the resource provision is constant over the execution of the task.
- By specifying a resource and minimal 'minProv' and maximal 'maxProv' provision parameters: In this case the resource provision is a decision variable but is constant over the execution of the task.
- By specifying a cpresusage 'usage' (see resusage for further detail).
- By a set of alternative cpresusage 'optUsages': This makes it possible to model alternative resources. The type of resource provision is defined by the resource usage passed in argument (see resusage for further detail).
- By a set of alternative cpresusage 'optUsages', a minimal 'minalt' and a maximal 'maxalt' number of alternative resources that must be provided: Between [minalt..maxalt] alternative provisions from the set will be active which means that several resources will be chosen to be provided by the task. The type of resource provision is defined by the resource usage passed in argument (see resusage for further detail).

Example
The following example illustrates this:

model "Producer Consumer" uses "kalis" declarations Masonry, Carpentry, Roofing, Windows, Facade, Garden, Plumbing, Ceiling, Painting, MovingIn : cptask ! Declaration of tasks money_available : cpresource ! Resource declaration end-declarations ! 'money_available' is a cumulative resource with max. amount of 29$ set_resource_attributes(money_available,KALIS_DISCRETE_RESOURCE,29) ! Limit resource availability to 20$ in the time interval [0,14] setcapacity(money_available, 0, 14, 20) ! Setting the task durations and predecessor sets set_task_attributes(Masonry , 7 ) set_task_attributes(Carpentry, 3, {Masonry} ) set_task_attributes(Roofing , 1, {Carpentry} ) set_task_attributes(Windows , 1, {Roofing} ) set_task_attributes(Facade , 2, {Roofing} ) set_task_attributes(Garden , 1, {Roofing} ) set_task_attributes(Plumbing , 8, {Masonry} ) set_task_attributes(Ceiling , 3, {Masonry} ) set_task_attributes(Painting , 2, {Ceiling} ) set_task_attributes(MovingIn , 1, {Windows,Facade,Garden,Painting}) ! Setting the resource consumptions consumes(Masonry , 7, money_available ) consumes(Carpentry, 3, money_available ) consumes(Roofing , 1, money_available ) consumes(Windows , 1, money_available ) consumes(Facade , 2, money_available ) consumes(Garden , 1, money_available ) consumes(Plumbing , 8, money_available ) consumes(Ceiling , 3, money_available ) consumes(Painting , 2, money_available ) consumes(MovingIn , 1, money_available ) ! Find the optimal schedule (minimizing the makespan) if cp_minimize(getmakespan) then cp_show_sol else writeln("No solution found") end-if end-model
