Problem Decentralization — Constraint detection
A
large
company
wishes
to
move
some
of
its
departments
out
of
London
.
There
are
benefits
to
be
derived
from
doing
this
-LRB-
cheaper
housing
,
government
incentives
,
easier
recruitment
,
etc.
-RRB-
,
which
have
been
costed
.
Also
,
however
,
there
will
be
greater
costs
of
communication
between
departments
.
These
have
also
been
costed
for
all
possible
locations
of
each
department
.
Where
should
each
department
be
located
so
as
to
minimise
overall
yearly
cost
?
The
company
comprises
five
departments
-LRB-
A
,
B
,
C
,
D
and
E
-RRB-
.
The
possible
cities
for
relocation
are
Bristol
and
Brighton
,
or
a
department
may
be
kept
in
London
.
None
of
these
cities
-LRB-
including
London
-RRB-
may
be
the
location
for
more
than
three
of
the
departments
.
Benefits
to
be
derived
from
each
relocation
are
given
-LRB-
in
thousands
of

per
year
-RRB-
in
a
