RT Journal Article T1 SINPA: SupportINg the automation of construction PlAnning A1 Cerro Cañizares, Pablo A1 Estévez Martín, Sonia A1 Núñez García, Manuel A2 Skibniewski, Miroslaw J. AB We present SINPA: an integrated framework to support construction site planners. The most basic functionality of our tool provides a user-friendly framework to represent causality relations (precedence and parallelism) between the different tasks conforming a project. SINPA strongly relies on a constraint solver and makes an intensive use of constraints. SINPA automatically studies optimisations of the original planning, recomputes the solutions and provides recommendations in an intuitive way so that the planners can modify their original plan. It is important to emphasise that the users of SINPA do not need to work with or understand Constraint Programming.
